And if you changed to two threads now it would probably bug you that the one half of the first block is different... I know it would drive me batty! Even if no one else but me could tell! But Blu's suggestion is probably spot on ~ try a little bit with two strands first, just to be sure!Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927928470253707737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514995782479684726.post-9073495187162658212012-01-24T18:53:55.217-08:002012-01-24T18:53:55.217-08:00I would start over too, much as you probably don&#...I would start over too, much as you probably don't want to hear that. :(Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230362349362748862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514995782479684726.post-59617185714768732772012-01-23T04:28:42.928-08:002012-01-23T04:28:42.928-08:00If you're not happy at this point, I would def...If you're not happy at this point, I would definitely start over. But, I like Blu's suggestion about stitching a bit of it with two threads and seeing if you actually like it that much better... Good luck :)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514995782479684726.post-90204311048622708302012-01-22T18:57:54.536-08:002012-01-22T18:57:54.536-08:00I'd start again on a new piece of linen.

I don't know that I could get that far and then redo the work, so I'd have to love the pattern VERY VERY MUCH!Sandra :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16239494415344028806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514995782479684726.post-24211588850670866202012-01-22T12:45:45.244-08:002012-01-22T12:45:45.244-08:00If you're not happy with it, I'd start ove...If you're not happy with it, I'd start over completely. I think at the end, you might not be completely happy if only some is with 2 strands. 36 count is one of those that sometimes you need 1 strand and other times 2 stands depending on the linen.valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904215812180267706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514995782479684726.post-80119673029887492942012-01-22T09:37:55.108-08:002012-01-22T09:37:55.108-08:00If you're only halfway through the first block...If you're only halfway through the first block and you're really not happy then I say go ahead and frog. There's absolutely no point in going on if you aren't happy. <br /><br />On the other hand, you could stitch a bit in two strands and see if there's a visible difference, and frog if there is or keep going if there isn't.<br /><br />But keeping on with one thread if you aren't happy? No, since this is supposed to be <i>making</i> you happy to work on it XDBluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591132890075654721noreply@blogger.com
