To Frog or not to Frog...
And the answer to that in this case would be NOT. I got a bunch done on Goblin Tree yesterday, over 1200 stitches! I thought it was looking a bit off, but instead of getting off my behind and checking the cover image I kept going. Sometimes it really doesn't pay to be so lazy... I discovered I'd been using the wrong color for at least one of the symbols!
That part there under her antennae is supposed to be 414. I'm not exactly sure what color it is, but certainly not the 414 which is quite a bit darker. Upon further inspection it seems that wasn't the only thread I had wrong. The top of that wing just doesn't look right. Normally, I might attribute that to the vagaries of HAED charts which often look off until all the surrounding stitches are filled in, when it suddenly all comes together.
Fortunately in this case, Louann (Stitching Obsessions) is also working on this and her wing top is much better defined. Which leads me to believe I've messed up more than one of the symbols. Rather than try to figure out where the mistakes are and frogging, I've decided to scrap this one.
Rather than move on to Angel of Frost, I think I'll replace Goblin Tree with Cirques des Cercles, which I'm dying to start anyway.
