This is really not the style I like, a bit too old-fashioned for my taste. So I thought I would modernize it a bit by using a few variegated threads in brighter colors.
And then I got carried away a little bit (just a little) and it ended up looking like that:
I actually quite like it :) Of course the total absence of natural daylight, or sunlight for that matter, makes for a craptastic picture but you get the idea...
Chart Modifications:
- Added in my initials on the left and a couple buttons and beads on the right, instead of the random bits that were called for
- Added in one stitch to the ''C'' in ''Stitch'', as it was missing
- Moved the entire right half of the design two stitches to the left in order to not fill in that hole the designer left in the border
- Used French knots for the flower centers instead of cross-stitches (I may or may not have an unhealthy love for French knots)
