I need some opinions/help with this pattern. All I did so far was imported the sprite into KG Chart and deleted the pink background. Does it look decent as is or does it need some tweaking? I'm just beginning to be familiar with KG Chart, so can someone please help me out? Thanks a lot!

Looks ok to me, but a little dark for my preferences :P Do you have the original sprite, and can you post it for comparison?

Here's the sprite. I thought it looked a little dark too.

Ok, wasn't sure about the colours KGChart was outputting so tried PCStitch - I took a screenshot of each and here's what we got:

Now, these are just the on-screen representations and so don't quite reflect the thread colours in real life, but PCStitch uses a lot more colours and some very different ones.

Here is a PDF of the PCStitch pattern - imported and no changes made (I let the program do it's thing):

Of course, if you want to stick with KG then that's fine but there's an option for ya :P

Wow, that's a lot of colors. I'll have to look through my floss and see what colors I need. It does look a ton better, but I doubt I have all those colors.

I'll definitely do the PC Stitch version, though. Thanks!

Yeah it is a lot of colours, most of them will probably end up being only a few stitches. But, the overall effect will be good (I think so anyway!).

Good luck with it! ^^
