Stoney Creek Noah's Sub

Has anyone completed this chart? I've just started it and am hoping to be able to finish it before my baby arrives in June (wishful thinking!!). I've tried finding correction lists on the net, but what I've found doesn't answer a couple questions I have.

My first question has to do with a discrepancy between the chart photo and the chart itself. On the yellow part of the submarine, the photo looks as if the line of DMC 3827 (the left pointing arrow symbol) is split in middle and is one line higher on the right hand side than the left. The actual chart, however, is written that this is one continuous line (unless I've misread it). This line equates with the very bottom line of chart on pages 3 and 4. BTW, I'm using the new version of the chart, not the original OOP one.

My second question is about the hippo. There are two half stitches that are listed with a red 3 symbol, which is DMC 3755, baby blue. This blue seems so out of place I'm wondering if it's wrong. I'd go ahead and substitute an appropriate gray color, but I'm completely anal about doing things "right" and can't quite get myself to bypass doing them in blue.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated!! Jinx

There is a Yahoo group called BAPXS (Big A** Pictures in XS) and several people there have completed this project and/or are working on it. Post your questions there - I am sure someone can help!

I've also started this, but have no illusions that it will be finished anytime soon. My goal is about 1,000 stitches between other projects, which means I have to finish 70 other projects LOL!

I have finished it (phew!) and will help where I can. I'm at work right now and so don't have the chart with me. I recall noticing the difference between the chart and the picture, but stitched it as charted and really thought it looked better without the sudden 'jump'. I don't recall the problem in the hippo (but I stitched (mostly) from the OOP chart). I did have a problem in the shark-type swimmer in the bottom left. One of the symbols in his mouth was nowhere to be found in either chart list! I ended up using a best guess approximation. For the hippo, I recall there were a number of places where I though things sounded odd, but looked right when stitched. Either that or it was a subtle difference between symbols and I was using the wrong floss... :) A great site I used was Dani's here:
