Lmao. Duh!!
been there done that. I learned a few years ago, while doing tatty teddy backstitching that I needed a sharp needle for those designs that feature intense backstitching --works wonderful, but you must be careful not to stick yourself and bleed on your stitching

I realise this is a long shot but i'm desperately trying to find the cross stitch pattern for the classic winnie the pooh afghan - I appear to have lost mine mid project and the baby who is supposed to be receiving said afghan blanket has only a few months left in the oven!!
*Panic sets in*
Can anyone help, or suggest where I might be able to buy a new one??
(Obviously it's now out of print, out of stock - even ebay has let me down!!!
Hello tinyfairywings and welcome to the forum. Don't know that I can help you with your request, but depending on how far you have gotten with this could you find a different chart or perhaps book of patterns with Winnie the Pooh and add those to the afghan? I know size may be a problem, but sometimes that doesn't matter as much depending on how you place the designs. The only other thing I can think of is to contact the designer or the company that sold the chart and see what suggestions they have. Good luck. I hope that when you find it you will post pictures of your work for us to see.

Thank you for your replies but failing miserably at finding a pattern any where at the moment! Hoping one will turn up some where! Fingers crossed. I'll pop some pictures up if I have any success! x
