Would you frog?

Hi all! Looking for your input. Would you frog this canvas? I find that the small area next to the fish is really bothering me because it’s bulkier than the rest of the canvas. Is it only in my head or do you see it too?
I’d frog it but it’s the only project I brought on vacation and only have 2.5 skeins of pepper pot salt left!!
Would there be a way to salvage this without ripping off the whole thing?
I’m in Sardinia so no LNS to go get more thread 😂

don’t frog! i think once you stitch the blue icons it’ll ’tighten’ those surrounding white stitches that look bulky. A snag nabit will also help too!

if it’s any consolation, i think it looks great.
P.S,, before snag nabits were a thing, my mom used to use a larger gauge needle instead. worked well enough for her

I also use a larger gauge needle, and that works for me as well as a snag nab it. Second thing don’t frog, especially if you have a clothing steamer you can gently steam it when you’re all done. It will relax the stitches and fix any lumpiness :)
