Rose, I was only disappointed that I didn't take a photograph before the backstitching just to show how "alive" he looks compared to prior to the backstitching - and no I won't unpick it

Tigger looks awesome and bouncy as ever And a great start on Pooh bear!
I would love to do a Winnie the Pooh series in cross stitch and put a typical quote each char says along the bottom (e.g. "T-I-double G-ER! That spells Tigger!" )

Yes I think I'll do Eeyore without grass. I'm thinking I may need to add grass onto Winnie as I miscalculated the centre of design (I think I may have counted the grass within the stitch count!!)

Your doing really well, I've always wanted to do an afghan but never felt brave enought, maybe when one of my girls has a baby i might venture in doing one lol
Just one question: erm... what's afghan? I think of Afghan hounds (who would object to being stitched, I feel!); and afghan blankets/coats (though I dunno what they look/feel like).
Gave up on my Lifeguards Crest - it just didn't look right Twiddled with the pattern a bit and eventually lost my rag!!! So back to my lurvly Winnie the Pooh afghan. Kym - if you want a loan of the pattern once I've done, please shout and I'll gladly send it on. It's all complete but a bit dog-eared, chewed and the back page (just the cover) is torn but I picked it up from the car boot for 10p so was too good a bargain to leave !!!

PS. Will post piccie once Eeyore's done - just got to finish his muzzle, butterfly and back-stitch.
