Ekidna's SAL

Ekidna · Post by **Ekidna** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 3:18 am

Ok, I know most of you have been catching up with my progress on my afghan thread, but I've decided to put it in this category as my SAL as it's the only thing I'm concentrating on at the moment anyway!!

I'm gonna post up a pic for each letter cos, there's so much expression in each letter that is lost in the "long shot" pic.

What fun - such wonderful expressions. I love the Eeyore ones - my favourite. It's looking great, Ekidna.

Love it. Better not show it to my daughter as she is a great fan of Eeyore especially.

Love the whole thing but Eeyore is a personal favorite. What more do you have to do? It is looking splendid.

I left the first and last sqaures blank so in the first square I'm putting babies name, and a beehive, I couldn't find a freebie pattern for it so I ended up doing one myself on graph paper. I'm going to have 4-5 bees buzzing around it and then a few buzzing diagonally up & down the afghan to the last square where I'll put his DOB and birth weight along with a pot of honey. I also want to put a couple of butterflies and a couple of lady bugs scattered on it to balance it out, and then just the backing.

Here is my progress on the top square. Just have to backstitch the hive and add the bees.

Still deciding whether I need to backstitch the hearts. I would stitch the pink hearts with red and the red hearts with pink, but don't know if that will be a bit of overkill, it's already quite bright and colourful, I don't know if it needs it. I'll post up a pic when I've done the bee's and tell me what you think.

That's wonderful. So inventive.

I would wait before outlining the hearts until you've finished the beehive and bees. Then see that you think.

I love it great idea the bee's and hive and the honey pot. The work is really nice. I agree with waiting until the rest is backstitched you may not need to do the hearts.

I think that is lovely, Ekidna. Very refreshing colours.
I made a cushion of Pooh Seasons for my grandson and put a beehive in the middle with bees coming from it.
