Color Blind

 

Can you see the difference between these two colors? Apparently I couldn't. All those big dots behind the Funky Flower were supposed to be in the yellow NOT the orange. 

Here they are again on the pattern's photo. Don't those dots look orange? I realized I had it wrong when I noticed that I wasn't going to have enough of the orange to finish all the dots. Argh....

In my panic, I thought about just buying another kit but there is only one available on eBay and they want a fortune for it. Not happening. I tried to match colors with yarn I could buy online but that's risky. So....there was nothing to do but pick out all the orange stitch by stitch. It took all night and there was no way to save it. It's a big pile of orange fluff now. 

Now I have to stitch those dots all over again. The orange was only being used on two small flowers so I did order some DMC wool in different colors now that the orange is mostly gone. In my defense the chart for the pattern is pretty terrible. It's very easy to mix up symbols but I'm still kicking myself. This was very stupid mistake and the SECOND time I've got the colors wrong.
