Golden Eyes - Golden Retrievera Cross Stitch Pattern by White Willow Stitching

Disappointed that that blue background wasn’t actually charted for stitching. Had to find Aida cloth that had a patterned background. Stitching is much slower than anticipated as pattern is small and has several single stitches so a lot of changing floss colors. Looking great tho. Can’t wait to finish.

Lots of similar colors, but just remember, it is just one stitch at a time! I plan to start in the center, count symbols carefully, check twice or thrice! My son-in-law lost his dog this past year.

This is a beautiful picture and I hope that it will come out the way it looks on the pattern. I think this is a pattern more for an experienced stitcher.
