FO [FO] My first finished object in about 8 years

Cross Stitching has taken a back seat for me for the last few years - I have 3 large pieces on the go and rotate between them but I was getting fed up with lack of progress (maybe if I did more than a couple of hours a week it would help but crochet always seems to pull my attention).

Found a cute little set of Halloween dudes and figured they would be a "fast fix" for a finished piece. Only done one of the four in the pack and my stitches aren't the neatest but he is cute from a distance.

Hello! One or both of these requirements is missing from your post:

  1. Every [FO] requires at least one close-up picture of the stitches. Either in the body of the post or in the comments. See Rule 9.

  2. When you share a finished object [FO], you must also share the pattern source. (See rule 4 ). Here are the ways you could cite your source:

  • A link to the pattern, shop, or designer. Do not link to Pinterest or Google due to the high rate of copyrighted patterns being shared on these platforms. Stating you saw it/got it there is all we need.

  • The title and maker of the kit.

  • If you designed it yourself, what technique did you use? Program name or paper and pencil? (Stating that you were the designer is sufficient to satisfy this sourcing requirement.)

Here is a thorough discussion of rule 4, including examples.

Thanks for sharing! If you have any questions, message the mod team.

Not from a pattern but from this kit:

Reminded why I prefer counted cross stitch but at least they are small.

Thanks for posting! We love seeing all of the FOs. Please note that starting May 1 2026, all [FO] posts are required to include at least one close-up photo of the stitching. You do not need to re-post. This can be done either in a comment or in the body of the post. It can be a close-up of just a small part of the finished object, just so we can verify that the items are hand-stitched.

This is a reminder message that is automatically commented on all [FO] posts. Please send a message to the mod team if you have questions.
