To ask you if this cyclist is flicking the bird?! Pic included

I’ve taken up cross stitching and have been following a very complex pattern which I have almost finished...but does it look like the cyclist is giving all the other traffic the finger?! I think it does...dh thinks it does...but I followed the pattern!

(He’s meant to be waving...the picture on the pattern I followed showed the cyclist waving!)

Grin slightly!

Heismyopendoor · 16/02/2018 15:24

Just a little :)

ZanyMobster · 16/02/2018 16:09

I looked at it before I saw your 2nd post and it definitely did not look like waving Grin I looked at it again after and it still doesn't look like he's waving Grin

I honestly was scared to click on this thread as I'm a cyclist and was genuinely afraid that it was going to be a photos of me Blush In my defence, it's only when it's dark and the car drivers won't dip their headlights..

But in answer to your actual question, yes! Smile

FluffyWuffy100 · 16/02/2018 16:29

Yup! Love it.

Is the Trump motorcade about to pass?

AppleKatie · 16/02/2018 16:33

Ha! Yes, yes it is.

It’ll look more like a wave once you’ve done the backstiching 😂

Oh bollocks!

I honestly followed the instructions and the picture on front of the pack (which included pattern, threads, needle and aida so no mistake with scale) but he really does look like a fucked off cyclist doesn’t he?!

I HATE unpicking cross stitching...should I just leave it or maybe attempt to make it look like he’s holding a balloon or kite?!

Leave it- once you’ve defined it as a hand it will be fine

I wasn’t actually planning on back stitching any of it as the rest of it looks lovely.

I'd leave it...

It'll make you smile even more when you look at it

packofbaloobas · 16/02/2018 17:12

Thank you so much for the laugh OP. I was genuinely in need of one. Personally I'd hang it up and enjoy other people's reactions and trying to hide them!

Hehe it does indeed! Looks good though.
