My Disney projects

[scarlet]

Ok, so as I said in a previous post, I started on a small Disney Dreams kit while I'm living abroad for a few months. This is the 5X7 Beauty and the Beast kit. I will start working on Ariel again as soon as I get home, this Fall. I miss her a lot. I renamed my post because all of my planned cross stitch projects are Disney right now so I will just keep them all in one thread as I work on them.

So far I have finished stitching Beast. I made one mistake, the row on his back had to be ripped out and moved up one. I realized this when I started the background. This kit is super tedious! It has all kinds of stitches in it that I have not done in any other kit or pattern before like 1/4 stitch and 3/4 stitch. Also there are squares where half of the stitch is one color and half the stitch another (so you make a whole stitch using 4 1/4 stitches).

sheesh! the one I'm working on now is mostly half stitches and that alone is almost enough to make me want to stop working on it. I can't even imagine all that.

Beast does look good though

Finally found some time to stitch a little bit. You can see the foot stool dog, he is my nine year old's favorite!

Got Cogsworth (and some boring terrace floor) done! Moving on to Mrs. Potts and Chip next.

Has anybody finished one of the large Disney Dream kits? Do they use a lot of 1/4 and 3/4 stitches in the pattern? I'm going to finish this Beauty and the Beast one that I'm working on but I just don't love the effect of putting so much detail into such a small space that I need to use 1/4 and 3/4 stitches to do so... It doesn't have as clean of a look as using full stitches for the whole design in my opinion. If the big ones have a lot of 1/4 and 3/4 stitches, I'm going to take them off of my future cross stitching project wish list.

I have the large beauty & the beast kit and there are large areas with full stitches but then there will be an area with lots of 3/4 & 1/4 stitches. Also I find the pattern a little bit too small to read so its hard to distinguish the 3/4 from 1/4 stitches.

I was gonna buy that exact BatB kit except as a latch hook! Nice to see it in action! I'm excited to see the final project.
