Sorry! Couldn't fit them all into one post!

What do you guys think?

Thanks for your answer Gamerwolff, I'll try to write for a refund, you're right (I've got nothinig to lose)...
Your squares are fabulous, how did you managed to stitch so much... !!!
The Kingdom Hearts is dark, it's true... ;-( did you use DMC #939 (dark marine blue) ? I change it now, when KG chart suggests it ; I think it's too close to black #310...
The other squares look great, you did a wonderful work !

[gamerwolff]

Yes it was 939 mostly. I didn't have the right tools to make it lighter so I posted the pattern and ended up doing one that blackmage graciously made for me.

When I get my tax refund next year I'm going to invest in a few other charting programs so I have options.... but until then I'm rolling with KG which for a free program is awesome.

And thanks for your kind comments about the others.

I also manage to stitch so much because one I'm seriously like blackmage fast and I'm also currently a stay at home mom. Which believe me is a job in itself.

... and I'm also currently a stay at home mom. Which believe me is a job in itself. :worried:

It is but at least you can stitch while you do it! (and people don't look at you funny).
I think the camera flash washed out a lot of the dark details in the photos so it's hard to tell the diffrent colors. When in doubt, you can always change them. I know I did on one of my squares... hopefully sooner rather than later... (not on these! - they're done).
I know I picked out over 1000 stitches on my Ghost Trick square and wanted to kill myself/it but in the end, it was worth it.

gamerwolff I love your squares! I'm glad there was somebody willing to make so many this year because I've just had my hands so full for months!
I think they will look fine when washed/stretched/ironed. Cameras don't usually pick up the subtle differences, especially between 310 and 939. It's hard enough for the human eye to distinguish those two colours!

I'm also currently a stay at home mom. Which believe me is a job in itself.

I agree! That's my current job too. 24/7. No help. The only salvation is stitching and gaming!
Now that I think about it, that might be why we are so speedy. Gotta fit in as much stitching as possible before spawn awakening/feeding/whatever time

[gamerwolff]

Yes....I usually end up putting my little one down and before I know it its like 5 am and a quarter of my stitch is done!

And being a stay at home mom I just want to say thank god for netflix!!!! keeps me sane!

I'm a stay at home mom too and I homeschool too. The only thing that keeps me sane is my tv shows and my music otherwise I'd be nuts between my 10 yr old son and my dog... I wish I was as fast at stitching as you Gamer. I don't know how you do it. This was my first go round with 16 ct. and it slowed me down a lot as I am used to 14 ct.

And I agree about DMC 310 and 939. My square that I got done for this years quilt had a TON of both and it is practically impossible to tell the difference without a bright light in close proximity to it. Huge pain to deal with. There was also a dark brown in that pattern too that was hard to distinguish as well from black and I can't remember what it was now..

[gamerwolff]

DMC 3799 is about as dark of brown there is and yes it is really close to black also. Yeah without really bright light mine just looks like a black square with a few squiggles lol.

Your squares are amazing! I love them! The Epic Mickey and the Kirby ones are so great!!
