The chart calls for Anchor Marlitt threads, which are these awful slippery monstrosities. I stitched a giant chunk of the dragon while cursing every moment and then put him away for two years. Several satisfying hours of frogging later I started again with DMC. Since Jennifer has a standard palette that she reuses I felt pretty confident that I could come up with a good substitution.
Here it is, just in case (and in case I want to reuse it at some point lol):
| Anchor | -> | DMC |
| 890 | -> | 319 |
| 1030 | -> | 320 |
| 1032 | -> | 367 |
| 1058 | -> | 368 |
| 1072 | -> | 3371 |
| 1077 | -> | 676 |
| Title | Why Hoard Gold? |
| Designer | Dragon Dreams |
| Start date | November 10, 2013 |
| Finish date | December 22, 2013 |
| Total time | 36.75 hours |
| Fabric | 28 ct White Jubilee |
| Floss | DMC conversion of my own |
