I have been working on this for quite a while, but I really love this pattern and it is exciting to stitch.  There are a lot of blends, which produce a very clean and smooth transition. My stitching on the hat is very lumpy, probably because this was one of my first projects. The finished design will be an Owl in a potion bottle with steam coming out of the top. The steam is all half cross stitching outlined in backstitching, but I find the half cross stitches hard to count, especially the ones in white. It is hard to see, but I have already started the white half cross stitches to the left. There will be more in other colors, which I hope will be easier to count. I started this on Halloween 2019, but I have not made a lot of progress for six moths as I tend to work on multiple projects at a time, a bad habit that I need to stop doing! I bought it from MilanaLoveStitch on Etsy. Anyway, this is a Work In Progress that I am very proud of, so I would like to show here. 



Hahaha!  I hate making gauge swatches, but know I will have to for the next few projects I want to make.  They are so detailed, but I really want to try them.

Debbie,

Oh, yes, I saw your images...have commented...thanks for posting them!  Smile  It's always nice to see what other people do.  Smile

Glad you've posted and I can't wait to see more of your work!  Smile


I've added a few more ... thanks!

nooooo we don't do a thing for tweedle and tweedle dumb good lord i'd end up shooting them aww bless you not like your anniversary date 

Astrid and Melanie,

We do our gifts on the 24th as well. Smile

I finished most everything, many of my gifts were edibles, so I was working like a mad woman to get them finished and into tins yesterday.

I'd finished the blanket and dish cloths. But not the hat and scarf set for my granddaughter, she knows I'm making them though, and is ok with waiting.
It's a tunisian cable pattern that I'm working out, so it takes a bit longer. I'm doing this set in red, but I'm a glutton for punishment and decided I'm going to do another set for her in blue, as well. Since this is taking longer, I hope to be able to get some pics to post.

Melanie, I do hope you get a chance to rest and recuperate. Kiss
