It's been several months - okay, 4 months - since I've touched WFK. It's 14 ct black Aida cloth. I've never had a problem working with black cloth, sometimes I think it's actually easier, not sure why. The 14 ct is much easier to work with than the Hermit's 22ct Hardanger fabric. It almost makes me think I'm stitching a beginner's pattern. Ha ha!
WFK is fun though. I love watching his body come together, though it doesn't look like I've done a lot, I can see his front paws filling in nicely. The only frustrating thing is that a lot of stitching requires two thread colours (one strand each of two different colours rather than 2 strands of the same colour). Here's a photo.
More to come soon! Thanks for reading.
Oh I hate it when they tell you to blend the thread colors! I also can't stand half cross stitches and partial stitches. I love a pattern that is all full crosses and just back stitching.
ReplyDeleteI can see the cat coming out too. Is the whole pattern these colors?
The kitty is shadowed in light and he's standing on a green/yellow carpet but there are lots of blended colours in the design.
ReplyDeleteI love this kit - I've got it to start someday. I agree with you about the black fabric - most people seem to hate it but I like it :D Dunno why! Congrats on your progress, it's looking great!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tama! Kittens sure are a lot of fun to stitch!
