Outline Stitch

For the hair I almost messed up completely. I had started using some french knots with some split stitches, well, that wasn't looking good to me so I started taking those stitches out. Oh boy, I accidently nipped my fabric while cutting those french knots out.
I was almost devestated cause I knew if I had to start all over again, I would probably just not continue. I didn't want to do that so I thought I will try to use a stitch that will cover over that nick in the fabric. So I chose to do outline stitch for the hair. I am really pleased with the result. The first photo shows how I done short outline stitches to give direction. Then finished it by connecting the two sides together.
I love the results and had to do it with 2 strand of DMC floss instead of 1 to cover over that mistake I made in nipping the fabric I am thinking it would have looked better just using 1 strand but I wanted to cover that nip in the fabric and plus I wanted to give highlight by using the 2 different colors.. I used 1 strand of DMC 300 and 1 strand of DMC 434
