Lovely stocking

Here's an update on the stocking - I just put his name in today! Click on the picture to make it bigger. I've hit my mid-October panic about making sure I get it done before his first Xmas this year. When I get the stitching done, I think I'll do a stocking-finishing how-to post with load of pictures.

Well, I've finished all the cross and half stitching! Now it's time for the dreaded backstitching. I also have roughly a billion french knots to do for the snowfall.



I'm including a close up of the top of Santa's hat... when I first stitched this, I misread one of the symbols and it ended up looking different than it was intended. I thought I could salvage it, but in the end, my OCD won out.



Since taking these pictures, I cut out all the trim and restitched it with the correct colors. You can see the difference in this picture:



Also, I'm including a pic of my latest finish - I'd been working on this in the UFO club and finally got it framed:

That looks great!!!!!! I love the snowmen, I have thought about doing that one for myself, just need to find some time......

Very cute!

The snowmen are adorable! Sorry to hear you had to frog, but the important thing is that you are happy with the result!

Great work on both projects! The snowmen are adorable!
