Yesterday you *finally* got to see a photo of Wolf without the hoop and rolled up excess fabric in the way. I was planning to finish the braiding in the neck but I changed my mind and decided to see how big he really is, so I started at the bottom with the scroll and worked my way up the almost endless line of black. At one point I really felt I was getting nowhere with it. However I did finally manage to complete the black outlines of the neck - just have the outlines of the braiding left to do!
And here is Wolf with all of the size defining outlines done - this is the full size he will get and I'm sure that if I tell you that the section that ends in the scroll would take 4384 stitches to cover (and 1 1/2 skeins of thread) you would understand why I chose to cover it with beads instead :) Just 276 black stitches left and I can start the filling in of the last sections before beading starts. I can almost smell the end of this project!
For those wondering what size he is: He's 11 3/16" x 8 1/8" / 28.42 cm x 20.64 cm
Stitches done: 625
Total stitches: 10952
Total backstitches: 42.76 inches
Stitches left: 1868
See you tomorrow!
The scrolls looks great, it's good to see all of the outlines now!

DeletePerhaps a medieval dictionary might help - they have lots of words we don't use any more :)
Well done with your progress!
