Lelie,
Welcome!
I'm not sure exactly what's happening, so please bear with me while I ask some questions. Are you saying there is a palette that
has 9 blue shades and the result is that since the
freePatternWizard doesn't have a 10th blue, it's choosing brown
instead? Or is there a blue that's actually missing from the
palette? Which palette are you using? Or is the problem that
there's a color in the palette you're selecting, but the
freePatternWizard still isn't choosing it?
Thanks in advance!
I am honestly giving up on making this pattern. Terry did a fabulous job on helping me and instructing me on this but, Iwhen I try to compile it I get the weirdest looking pattern possible. I just don't understand it.

So I am now a few days into this project. I have already
spent... a lot of hours on it. I am actually keeping track of how
long this takes me. I am an accountant by trade so I just like data
and numbers. But I wont report the numbers yet. As I am still only
2 months back into cross stitching then it feels like I am veeery
slow still.
So far I love doing this. I am
also so glad I got the 16ct fabric. You can make out the x's but
there is not a ton of white shining through.
To keep track of where I am, I colour in the done parts
with a highlighter. I decided to start with the bottom
right corner, from the last pages of the pattern. Because page 1,
so the top left corner, had a lot of colour swaps in a small
area.
Progress so far:
Seems like decently big chunk. Until
you put it into perspective:
I started with a hoop. And though it
was only in the hoop for maybe 2 hours that first night, you can
still see the ring of it on the fabric. I am also worried about
pulling and stretching already stitched areas with the hoop later.
So I decided that this is the time to learn to stitch in hand. At
first it was tricky. I had gotten used to the hoop with the small
projects I did before. But now its not so bad. I am getting the
hang of holding the part of the fabric that I am stitching stiff,
but not stretching it too much.
I will try
to update again in not too long.
