Yosh, it is indeed Blair from Soul Eater (日本語で： ソウルイーターのブレア…化け猫です。)! I enjoy the manga quite a bit. I chose her cat form for decency (hah - guess I could've chosen Lust chapter form :Q~). Plus, her cat form is cute. This is where I got her pose. I thought that an image existed of her in a similar position, or her sitting on a pumpkin (cat form) but I couldn't for the life of me find it. It sorta dawned on me as I was stitching that if one didn't know the subject was a cat... she kinda looks like a purple monkey, lol. The pumpkin itself needed a face because what is Halloween without jack-o'-lanterns? Google didn't fail me this time as I found the face I was looking for: the logo. I've dubbed it a "Soul Pumpkin".

Just miles of orange and backstitching left...
In this picture, my hoop is "upside down" from what I normally do. When I was adjusting the positioning of it, I noticed it said "THIS SIDE UP" on the full circle part. Wait, what? I've been loading my fabric wrong since the beginning?! Puzzlement ensued. I've always put the full circle part underneath the fabric and the screw part on top. I obeyed the great and wise hoop for surely it knew better than me.
Urg. I do not like how it feels in my hands this way. Perhaps I'm too used to holding it the other way and it has blinded my ability to follow directions. I can see where it could be a tad bit easier to stitch as you know where the smaller hoop is but I'd rather have it easier to hold. My wrists give me enough trouble as it is.
Hoop users, how do you load it? Am I an alien?

Yay, I guessed right! *happr dance* And I love the Soul Pumpkin idea :D
ReplyDeleteAbout the loop.. I've always put the bigger circle up. It just felt natural fot me, I guess (there is no "this side up"on my loops, lol). But on blogs I've seen some stitchers loading the fabric the other way round. So it seems it is just a matter of personal feeling - just keep it the way you feel more comfortable. After all, it doesn't affect the final look of the stitching, right :)
Aww, it looks so cute!! :D
ReplyDeleteI say, use your hoop how you like to use it. Who cares what the manufacturer says, and it's not worth your wrist hurting. :)
