I finally finished these two!

Well…mostly. I need to fill in a couple of gaps on the bear, but I lost my mind and decided to try to finish a whole new pattern by 10/1 so I’ll have to worry about that later. I’m overall really happy with how both came out. I can see mistakes up close, but I think from a distance, they’re both nice. Also, this was before ironing both, please disregard any wonky satin stitch - the thread moves when I wash off the pattern.

Oh wow they’re lovely! Whatever you call that textured stitch on the bear really makes me want to touch it with my grubby little paws 😄 Also, it totally is the most wonderful time of the year and I won’t hear otherwise.

frickineh,

Thanks! It’s a split stitch, which is rapidly becoming one of my favorites for being so easy but having such nice texture. The original pattern used chain stitch, but that’s much more effort for a very similar effect.

And yes, I’m forcing myself to wait until October 1st to decorate for Halloween but I’m ready now.

catsdoingcatstuff,

Those came out great! I want pet that bear.

frickineh,

Thanks! I wanted him to look soft, and I think that stitch worked out well.

They both look amazing! I would have bear-ly noticed the gaps if you hadn’t said anything 🐻

frickineh,

They’re more noticeable in person, but nothing 5 min and a few stitches can’t fix.
