Wasted much time trying different floss on the tree. Chart looks almost white, I like it, but it wasn't showing. I lightly swept an artist brush over my ink stamp pad, added more mottling to the linen to help contrast the white. I tried the dmc equivalent of the chart, yuk yellow. Tried other yellows. Tried various lights, 437 worked best. I still like the white, but do not like ghosted stitches. This is stitched with extra thread and still not enough so I moved on to the bottom.
The almost white wasn't working there either, switched to 437. But this photo shows it ghosted and I like it, so was still leaning white. Until.
A whale slub stopped it all. So fuzzy you couldn't see the linen threads over it. It's gone and left a repair I've done many times. But I can't.
First of all, this is larger than I expected. Second, I don't have a pocket watch. Third, anxiety has me at a near non-functioning state.
So I'm done with it.
Hope to post this weekend. Wish me luck tomorrow.
Behave yourself! Be safe.

I do wish you good luck, I send you good thoughts and prayers.
Prayers, luck, and best thoughts....Let us know as soon as you can how things went! (And for the record, I do like the white....suppose you could always outline each with the 437 if the ghosting bugs you too much...it doesn't me. Then again, slubs don't bother me. ;-) ) Hugs my friend....
Good luck. I hate ghosted letters. Janice
Hope all went well on Thursday.
Don't like it,when stitches will not show up.
Take care, Truus from Holland
