Crazy January Challenge - Days 6 and 7

Day 6 was Witchful Thinking from Pickle Barrel Designs which I was lucky enough to win in a giveaway by the designer last year.  Over half way through I realized that I was one stitch short in the upright of the letters stitched so far.  I looked at it, thought 'shall I unpick?' Very quickly that was followed by 'nah, it's fine' and I finished the last few letters off the same.  Now the question is...do I stitch the Witchful with one less stitch too, so they are the same height or as charted?

Day 7 was Winter Unicorn by Durene Jones.  As you can see I haven't had a lot of stitching time recently as there is an assignment due in.  2000 words on the depiction of the family in Peter Pan and 2 poems from 100 Best poems for children!  Thankfully that is now submitted and life can get back to normal for 2 weeks!

I think either way you do the letters will work. Having "witchful" one stitch larger might emphasize it and could be easier than compensating the entire word. I don't blame you for not wanting to rip it out.

I've been trying to understand your question about the off one stitch in height. I thunk I get it. I would leave what you stitched, and stitch going forward as charted. If one word is larger than the other, it will make great typography. Great 2 new starts. love Annette
