He looks great and the back stitching will make him really pop.

Han is complete!! The afghan is about 1/2 done. At least the characters are. The middle is kind of designed in my head, but no where else quite yet.

Yay for the back stitch. It makes all the difference doesn't it. This is a monumental piece of work. Just brilliant. :applesauce:

Re: Star Wars Afghan: ? new character 8/13/2022

New character. I think for those of you familiar with Star Wars characters this one should be pretty easy to identify.

Lots of rain here this week so I got a lot of stitching done and my back "went out" Monday so I stitched instead of doing household chores (it was a good excuse anyway).

Thank you. I've got a thermal wrap that provides a lot of back support. This is something I think my mother left me and happens a few times a year. Usually the first two days are hard but then it goes away. Good excuse for not washing the floors :roll:

There is no black thread in this design so far. More shades of gray and combinations of grays. I have to double check that I'm using the right combination each time I change colors. Very Vador like I'm sure :doh:

And another weekly update. It figures that Darth would be one of the largest of the figures to do. I'm more than half way done, but it seems there is so much more to do. Or maybe I'm just frightened that he won't let me out of his grip :shock:

Ah - I now recognise this one - maybe the only star wars character I would recognise. Great stitching. Hope your back is better.
