Progress!
It's been about a week so I figured I would check in with a blog post about the progress I've made.
I finished the tiger's face. I tried to veer from the pattern a little bit with the nose and add a hightlight, but I decided it didn't look good, so I ended up doing the nose entirely black in the end. The ears took forever! While working on them, I realized I was running out of pink thread. It was then that I realized I was supposed to be taking the 3 strands of thread and separating them into sets of 2. So, I've started doing that now. It's a pain. Almost always the strands get knotted. Oh well.
Here's the rest so far. I went ahead and finished all the sections I could with the two stitches I know. Unfortunately, now that means I need to learn a new stitch to continue on.

Here's the picture of what the finished piece is supposed to look like. You can see that I changed the nails. I didn't like the two-colored look. And one of the flower centers will have to be a different color because I ran out of pink thread. Oops. Also, the set didn't come with white, but I think I'm going to buy some and fill in the white fur on the tiger, because I think it looks odd being the same color as the background.
Ttyl,
