[WIP] First time stitching in 5 years

I'm just shy of 80% on this full coverage pattern and I'm loving it! I've been testing out a few things such as direction of my stitches and there's one color that was discontinued in my country (1066 by anchor) but I'm sure I'll find a substitute.

Something that's bothering me though: the colors of the threads are very saturated compared to the pictures of the chart, and I thought I had the darker pink of the sky but I didn't. I tried a substitute (og was 8 and I used 328, closest one I had) but I'm not sure it matches. My other available option is 9, which is way duller... I guess I'll have to frog that section and buy this color as well lol
