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.

looking good!
ReplyDeleteI still havent had time to start on anything >:
I think that was a good call on the nails- it just looks weird when they are two-toned D:
ReplyDeleteWhat's the new stitch you're going to have to learn? It's looking great so far!
@sorjei Aww....you should try to start this week. ^^ And thanks. :)
ReplyDelete@nekosd43 I'm glad you agree. I went to work on them and I was like "What?! Why are they two colors? oO" " lol. Well, I could pick from 5 kinds and I decided on the fishbone stitch since that looked relatively simple. I've already finished one of the black stripes on the face and the three leaves hanging from the tail. ^^ Thanks for this project...it's been really inspiring. *glomps!*
