Ah, I got the answer I expected! The vast majority of you said "move that 8!" I agree. Now, I also agree with Bonnie - in quaker tradition, only God is perfect, so leave mistakes in. And I have left most of the charting errors alone (there are a few in this chart). However, I just could not justify trying to place the 8 in an appealing manner as a mistake. Sharon M. is adorable - she was up early watching the baseball from Tokyo - and re-charted the 8 twice for me! Aw, thanks Sharon!! I worked on it again tonight, and I moved the 8 twice, finally ending up here... and I think I like it. Does it look right? The 8 is only 4 stitches wide and a little hard to place in an area also designed for wider numbers. I thought of someone's suggestion to move the little motif to the right of the 8 over, but there are only 4 threads between the small motif and a large one that goes to the right of that one, so that was a no-go. So... unless you all tell me it looks bad, I think the 8 has been relocated.... Thank you, everyone, for your help!!!
I didn't get up early for the Red Sox, by the way. Some asked :-) Well, OK, I did get up 10 minutes early - at the first alarm rather than waiting for the snooze alarm. I went into my stash room and turned on the TV - I think they were in the 3rd inning at the time. I heard it all the way to work on the radio, and when Brandon Moss hit his home room to tie the game in the top of the 9th, I was just pulling into my office parking lot. I have never run into my building and ascended to the fifth floor to my office so fast - had to get my computer going and hear the rest of the very exciting game. LOL. I am as passionate about the Red Sox as I am about stitching, I can't help myself :-)

I think the 8 looks perfect exactly where it is! It does look more tied together with "200-"
Your fingers are moving like wildfire on this piece - it's gorgeous and I'm loving that linen it's on.

Between you and Edgar I might have to move this up on the shopping list. I'm liking it more the more I see it.
I agree with kim b. The '8' does look more tied together with the '200-' :)
The 8 looks great where it is now.
A perfect 8! Well done
The 8 is perfectly placed now!
The 8 looks much better this way!!!
I can just picture you flying hither and thither just to hear the game :o)
The 8 looks great. I think, in the end, I would have moved it too!
Looks great. Job well done.
Definitely flows better! I like the new placement much more.
I think it looks great ;)
The '8' looks great now - good job in moving it. Sometimes you just have to go with what appeals more to the eye than with proper sequencing. This piece looks wonderful!
OK, I admit it, the 8 does look better moved up. And I see the angel up above the motif is blowing the trumpet to say, "You go girl!". Your stitching always looks so good.
I also loved your story about listening to the Red Sox game from Tokyo. You are a serious fan.
The 8 looks great, fantastic decision Carol!
Great job, Carol! It was definitely the right move to restitch the 8 in the new position - it looks wonderful. And my condolences on the Red Sox loss today :(
Everytime Harden pitches against the Rangers, I can't wait for him to leave the game - he's that good!
wow your really moving on this one. Yes, I like the 8 where it is now. :)
It looks wonderful!
It looks much better. Well done you. xx
Carol, I had to smile as I imagined you rushing into your office! QC looks great!
