It irritates me for sure, but not enough to start all the way over lol
This was definitely bad management on my part, I did not realize just how much black I was going to need for this and ran out. The black I started with was part of a multipack that I really didn't need to buy again so I tried to match it as best I as I could. Since it's just the black section that is mismatched I may try to fix it with a sharpie once I'm done
I love how casually you're just like "yeah imma draw on it". That's the kind of resourcefulness I both admire and also try and shamefully hide when I do it myself.
Another possibility might be that, assuming you stitched with two threads, maybe adding a third thread on the top leg of the less cover-y stitches might be enough to blend them in? Just a thought. I'm sure colouring it in with pen will also work 😂
It's a habit I picked up in art school lol! Very often you would notice some small flaw and hour before a project was due so you use whatever is on hand to fix it quick!
