Flamingo Phil - Patriotic

'Flamingo Phil - Patriotic' by Stitchworks | 64W x 86H

Start: May 8, 2018
Finish: October 6, 2018

Ramblings:
My 8th start of Stitchmaynia 2018! Only took me 5 months to finish... (:

I love these guys! I would love to know if there are more in this series.

Project Notes:
✘ DMC white = B5200
✘ Kreinik 003 (red) = Rainbow Gallery PB07
✘ Kreinik 018 (blue) = Rainbow Gallery TR48
✘ Added a strand of Rainbow Gallery PB03 over the silver (Kreinik 019) stitches
✘ Backstitched DMC 310 with 2 strands
✘ Switched from stabbing to the sewing method in sand area, noticeable tension change
✘ Used 4 strands for DMC 310 to match the oops I made on the last Phil 
✘ Can't find either Flamingo Phil patterns (or replacement buttons) on the Stitchworks website. :(
✘ Glasses button arrived broken, found a replacement on Etsy from Glaze Girl Designs
✘ Added a coat of black nail polish to the glasses, to darken them up (couldn't the glittery one!)

Section of Oops:
✘ Blue firecracker got a bad deal: it's lower than it should be and is missing a leg of backstitch
✘ Shorted myself on the ocean by 1 row, had to move white caps around
✘ Stitched over a few wrong stitches in the correct color vs. ripping out the wrong ones first ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
