Last birthday I got a cross stitch pattern with a boxer design. It was a picture of a blonde boxer with a short muzzle and a white streak on its nose.
Now, here's a photo of the boxer dog we got a little while after my Mom ordered the pattern.Read More...
See the similarity? His name is Argos and I do not think he has ever looked as regal as the boxer on the pattern, but I thought it was cute that my Mom found a pattern of a dog similar to ours. Anyways, the pattern is very large, 196x191 stitches to be exact. That is like 15 x 15 inches. Here is an example of two of the six pages required for the pattern.
I have not gotten a lot done on it, and I started a couple months ago. I decided to start with black, and I have gotten this much done.
Anyways, just thought I would share one of my hobbies with you all. Leave a comment if you would like to see updates on the progress from time to time.

It looks like a Transformer: Optimus Prime walking with his arms up in the air. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Transform and Roll out!
DeleteI have a cross stitch piece of a "gardening" angel that I've been working on for over 25 years and it's not near as complicated as the one you have here. Maybe someday I'll actually finish mine, but I bet you finish yours first. Love ya, Granny :)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Maybe. Love you! Sorry it took so long to get back to you. ♥
DeleteNow all I see is a transformer. If I had to pick something else, I'd say it looks like an aerial view of some strange lake.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Lake Argos
DeleteIt looks like a large dwarf.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that an oxymoron?
