I was going to place my guess in spoiler tags, but they aren’t working.

Roland, you got it! It is Obi-wan Kenobi, Jedi master. I thought there was enough stitched to identify him, especially with the gray hair.

I was going to place my guess in spoiler tags, but they aren’t working.

What are spoiler tags?

Carole

[Roland]

Spoiler tags are BBCode that hides what is posted. To read it you have to click on it. That way, people who want to guess wouldn’t see my answer.

[rcperryls]

Thank you. I didn’t know that about BBCode. Always wondered what that meant. I’ll have to try that sometime.

Carole

[Squirrel]

That looks interesting Carol.

Didn't have quite as much time this week, but Obi is going pretty well, I think. I had a visit from the on the sleeve. It is stitched with blended threads and I must not have used the right colors because part of it was clearly wrong. It was tricky picking out the right stitches in the middle of a bunch of others, but I think I managed it okay. Still not as smooth a transition for the sleeve shadowing, but not as obvious as it was. (I was so annoyed with myself, because I think it happened because I had become so caught up watching the last episode of Hinterland (a dark but very compelling mystery series. I should have known better)

Thank you for looking and encouraging me on!

He is fabulous. Well done.

[fccs]

It looks great. And now I’m off to see what Hinterland is all about.

[rcperryls]

Its on Acorn TV. Takes place in Wales. One of those crime shows that has individual crimes for each episode but a kind of mystery throughout all the seasons which concludes in Series 3. I got hooked, even though it was a little more intense than I usually like, but I ended up pretty much binging the last series.

and thank you for your feedback

Been a while since I posted an update, but I've made a fair amount of progress.



Thank you for your encouragement and thank you for looking!

Its looking great Carole.

Obi-wan looks great!

Slower going this week since I have pretty much worked my way down to the rows needing to be stitched over the more loosely woven sections of the afghan fabric. I've done this many times before, but it is always a challenge. I try to stitch as much as I can above that section of fabric so I have rows above it to guide my way. It usually is a bit messy but as long as there aren't any quarter stitches involved it's manageable.



This week I will be helping my sister with packing for a move to a new house, so my goal is for the stitching to be completed by the week after so I can do the back stitch and really bring Obi to life.

Thanks for looking!

[Mabel Figworthy]

You've managed to keep that tricky stitching really neat! Hope your sister's move goes smoothly.

Wow, he looks amazing!!!
