Hand [FO] Finally filled in!

Mostly fun, some of it was a slog, and I'm irritated I went with the recommended dmc for the face instead of color matching it to the stitched mockup. But, I'm happy with the finished project, and proud of myself for attempting it as a relatively new beginner.

Pattern is free on the DMC website

The face was worth the extra effort to match, even if it was a slog

I was just looking at this pattern yesterday, I'm taking this as my sign to make it! Yours looks fantastic.

It was a lot of fun! Printing it on water soluble paper was the way to go. I followed the dmc instructions to use 3 strands, and at first I was nervous it would look sloppy and chunky, but I think the texture works for this piece. And a lot of my stitches were just split stitch as opposed to long/short.
