I have resumed work on Frank. When I left off, I had done most of his T-shirt. However I was not happy with the top of it where it meets the collar. So as you see below, I took out the stitches to contemplate my next move.
Then it occurred to me to take the collar stitches out, and then stitch the top of the T-shirt, and then stitch the collar over the top of the stitches.
Ta Dah! It looks nice. Stitch order can be important!
I kept two needles with the two purple threads going at the same time. It was easy, and it makes the T-shirt look real. Frank probably went to a Thrift Shop for such a nice T-shirt. But his jacket is gonna be really ragged. It is a fun stitch that I have never seen before. And using an overdyed thread along with a solid is fun to play with. Keep two needles going on this part too.
By the way, take a minute and go to the page of the stitch guide referring to Frank's cat. Write in that the cat's whiskers are stitched in Kreinik Braid size 4, color #101...same as Rhett's.
Happy stitching.
