Hey! I'm back...

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.
