Flamingo Phil

'Flamingo Phil' by Stitchworks | 64x86


Start: May 5, 2018
Finish: August 26, 2018

Ramblings: 
Started this during StitchMaynia 2018! The Fuzzy Stuff took some getting used to in the beginning, but overall this was a fun pattern to stitch up. B5200 is my go-to for white, which is the only thread change I've made. I love it how it turned out. :)

Note: I can't seem to find this pattern on their website, and I can't remember which needlework shop I've ordered this from online. :( Sorry!

Project Notes:
✘ Stitched with two threads over two on 32-count Lugana in Summer Sky
✘ White = B5200

Section of Oops:
✘ Used 4 strands of 310
