Monkey Baby in the Jungle - Now Finished 08/06/12

Post by stdenny »

I got most of the threads yesterday and I just started doing the Monkey Baby in the jungle and it's not much to see seeing I only started this morning. lol. I hope you can see the sparkles on the fabric and unfortunately the green fabric didn't show on the photo. I'm using 3 strands as it states on the chart to use 3 strands for 28ct but I'm doing it on 14ct aida. I experimented with 4 strands and thought it was a bit too bulky but the coverage with 3 is pretty good. I'm hoping it doesn't take long to complete.

This is what it will look like when completed. http://www.patternsonline.com/Patterns/Pat.aspx?P=2168" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank

Thanks for all the comments. :) I have now done the face of the wee baby so I thought you might like to see it. :) I will probably do the monkey suit next. That might take a while what with all the lovely browns. :roll: lol. I have experiment with the camera settings and it's a pretty good representation of the farbic and stitches.

As you can see, I have completed most of the monkey's head and started on the leaves. The colours are completely different than what is showing on the finished picture. They are lighter. :shock: so that makes me pauses a lot when stitching cos I keep thinking I used the wrong thread colour. lol.
