2026 Year of 100 Starts: Start #58 - Tails by Makibird

And the last video game sprite is Sonic's friend, sidekick, companion Tails! So called because he has 2 tails and can kind of hover like a helicopter. I hadn't played any of the newer games with Tails, only the original Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Genesis. DD has played some though, and watched the TV shows. I think Shadow is her favourite character, but possibly Tails is a close second. 

Here's the finish:

Tails by Makibird

stitched 2 over 1 on 14ct silver perforated paper

with DMC as charted

This one I made more mistakes than the other 2 combined. I also "finished" 3 colours, since I was stitching all of one colour before switching to the next, etc. and had to go back and put in extra stitches for 3 of the colours. But it's a fun finish and although it can take a bit to see the character, if you follow the darker outline, you can make him out. 

After all the colour changes I might be up for some more monochrome, but I'll have to see what calls to me. I'm at the point where a lot of the charts I've pulled are fine, I'd like to start them, but they don't have the same pull that some of the early starts did. It's possible I'm up for a smaller full coverage project, we'll see how the workday treats me, etc. 

I hope you've all had a good day of stitching!

Happy Stitching,
