I love the look but I don't like how the colors can be soooo different. I have been disappointed more than once that my finished piece did not look like the original. I also buy charts and then look through my stash to see what I can use. Love the new designs by Brenda of WTNT. Trying to resist buying new charts because I have so many in my stash. Take care.<br /><br />Judy in ColoradoThe Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14050236559115411488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048073408426774871.post-57330302457584325422015-03-11T18:50:11.673-05:002015-03-11T18:50:11.673-05:00New glasses are fun and espensive if you have prog...New glasses are fun and espensive if you have progressives like I do. Very charming chickadee. I certainly have enjoyed their antics this winter. I saw he 2nd chart you like and thought long and hard about getting it as I like blues and greens. I have no confidence in my own tastes so normally stick to floss and fabric as charted.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17433260552425620150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048073408426774871.post-68981312813961442382015-03-10T14:02:51.031-05:002015-03-10T14:02:51.031-05:00New glasses look great !!!

There were many charts I saw that I would love from the market but I have a lot of charts already, and a few kitted up so I passed on buying any. I too find the materials and everything quite expensive so I'll usually buy the chart and see what I have on hand first before I dive into buying overdyes. Sometimes I use a mix too or substitute other colours to save on cost.

I rarely stick to the colors--especially of small overdyed sections. A larger block of color I tend to buy the suggested color, but even then, they seem to rarely look like the model. It can be frustrating considering the money you've shelled out...Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048073408426774871.post-91495760881943697452015-03-10T03:59:24.194-05:002015-03-10T03:59:24.194-05:00Your new glasses are cool, and the bird is looking...Your new glasses are cool, and the bird is looking pretty.<br />I change also.

I tend to want to use what the designer uses in a piece, but so often with the overdyed cottons, you end up with threads that aren't the same color even if you got the called for colors. I wish the overdyed cottons were more reliable in their dye lots. I really hate that. I'm very tempted by a couple of WTNT pieces too. I haven't taken the plunge yet, but I'm thinking about it!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646028248366805686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048073408426774871.post-17597930703835012872015-03-09T21:56:13.810-05:002015-03-09T21:56:13.810-05:00I love your pretty mug!

One good thing about DMC is that you can usually depend on the color not changing. I have never had a problem with dye lots using DMC. Because I have to order the over-dyed floss, it can be very tricky if I run short. That is one big advantage to DMC at least for me.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292519625560497199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048073408426774871.post-54987765378398356412015-03-09T21:39:20.202-05:002015-03-09T21:39:20.202-05:00Your chickadee looks good!

I'm sure they would be worth it but it's just not in my budget. I liked Brenda's new one with Herbs on it - I might break down and get that one. :) blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.com
