Week 18 Beauty and the Beast

I am through 18 weeks of stitching on this, and I'm still going strong! (Knock on wood...) I was able to get way more done this week than I thought I would. I'm not quite sure how that happened... Next week I'm not sure if I will get as much, because my husband will be working during the day and I will be working at night. I finished the green on the hillside and started on the first overpass. I also got some of the pool-things done. I'm not exactly sure what they are, but they look neat :) I love this more and more and more as I stitch it. Here are pictures of my progress from this week:



I have also run into a tiny setback. I have come across a symbol on the pattern that is not on the key, so I don't know what color to stitch. I am going to be writing an email to the manufacturer tonight to see if they can help me, but in the meantime if anyone knows what the symbol is, let me know! It is under the first overpass, here is what it looks like:

The case of the missing symbol! :)

EDIT:
They got back to me very quickly and I have the answer! It is one strand of 6263 (Medium Grey) and one strand of 6297 (Medium Grey Pink). I also asked in the email about the purple dashed lines as the backstitch symbol on the overpasses because that was not in the key, either. She said that is stitched in 1 strand of 6237 (Dark Yellow Grey). Now, on with the show! :)

    I don't know about you, but I had a brown color that was unlabelled and not attached to the card in my kit...could that be it? If not, let me know when you find out!

      I got a reply today from them (awesome response time!). It turns out the symbol is for 1 strand of 6263 and 1 strand of 6297. That's straight from my email and I don't have my floss here with me to check what the color names are. She said they noticed that error after some of the kits had already been sent out. I'm not sure about the unlabeled brown, have you tried going through all of the floss and the key to see if one might have come off? I had had another problem earlier on with the floss not being quite right, but they are pretty good about getting back to you if you have questions.
