Re: Star Wars Afghan 12/03/2022 Luke Skywalker
Finally got enough done to post an update. Seems like I've been busier than usual but couldn't begin to say why except for our Thanksgiving holiday. And the fact that when Mr. occurs in the loose weave section it is a real pain in the patookie to deal with. It slows the stitching down when I get to this section. When I get back to the regular weave I am always surprised to find that my count is still accurate. Or at least accurate enough that mistakes are well hidden.
Thanks for looking.

Only the stitcher can see the mistakes.
The rest of us see the expertise.

Re: Star Wars Afghan12/07/2022 Luke Skywalker cross stitching done
The cross stitching is finished on Luke and the backstitching has begun. Only 3 more characters to do. I'm seriously thinking of having my son open a gift with this not quite done afghan so he can see what's coming. I know I will not be able to hold it until his birthday at the end of May and selfishly want it to be a gift at a time that is special for gift giving. I think I'll have him guess the next ones as they progress so we'll have a game of it.
Thank you for looking.

Great progress, and I think that's a very good idea, it will whet his appetite for the finished article and give both you and him pleasure for him to see it at Christmas!

Re: Star Wars Afghan12/17/2022 Who is this?
Started on the next character. If you are a Star Wars fan you will probably recognize this character, I think? I would expect that if you're not it will be a mystery for a while.
Thank you for looking.

Re: Star Wars Afghan12/17/2022 Who is this?
I don’t recognize it yet….
Re: Star Wars Afghan12/17/2022 Who is this?
My son loved the afghan even though I had to take it back so I can finish it. Haven't had a lot of time to make much progress on this character, but enough that those familiar with Star Wars characters shouldn't have too much difficulty in guessing this one. My son knew it right away even with less done than the current photo.
Thank you for looking.

Chewbacca!
Funny story. When I was in highschool and the first Star Wars movie came out there was a contest on the radio. My friend won a date with Chewbacca. He took her out for dinner, in full costume. Lol.

It is! I bet there were some real wide eyed customers at whatever restaurant your friend and the world’s best known Wookie went to eat. I wonder if he ordered a raw steak

Re: Star Wars Afghan12/31/2022 Chewbaca
Can't imagine the conversation was up to much! But your friend has probably dined out on the kudos ever since (and why not)!
Re: Star Wars Afghan12/31/2022 Chewbaca
Now that the holidays are over, I'm hoping to be able to move a little more quickly on this. My stitchy bug is ready to move back to other projects but so far I've been able to keep him in check. Are all stitchy bugs male? Never thought about it until I typed that last sentence. Or should it be keep it in check?
Thank you for looking. I appreciate any and all feedback.

Wow! Definitely Chewbacca.
I went back through your pages to the half done update on page 10 and WOW Carole, it really is fabulous already and it will be amazing when it's completed.
I hope you are really proud of all you have done so far.
