Year of the Sheep (4) FINISHED!

This is my last Year of the Sheep and it's finished.  AND I changed the colors.  I think it turned out better than the rat that I changed colors but I should have picked a darker brown for the color and inside the ears so the transition stands out more.  I also should have used a darker brown for the backstitching.  I'm still happy with it and I'm not going to nitpick about it.  Now I only have 2 left to stitch.

Year of the Sheep(3) finished!

Here's my next Chinese Zodiac finish.  It's the third Year of the Sheep and I still have one more to do.  This one was done on Platinum 14ct Aida (2x1 full) and I don't remember the brand.  I'm not sure I like it.  It feels very thin, almost like paper.  It feels like it will tear at the slightest tug; even though it doesn't.  I love the color Platinum so I'd use this color again for other projects but I'll have to find out what brand this is so I avoid it in the future.

Year of the Sheep (2)

Here is my first repeat. It's the Year of the Sheep on Lavender 14ct 2x1 full. I was wondering if having to do repeat ones would make me more likely to make a mistake and I almost did with this one. I almost forgot the little guy's tail. Thankfully I remembered. I'm going to have to be more careful with the next repeat.

Year of the Sheep (1) on light blue

This one was sooooooo much easier to stitch than the Tiger on Navy. Bigger blocks of color and an easier fabric to see. It's a good thing this one is so easy because I have to do 4 of them. Here's the first:
