Am I right to assume "FO" is "Finished object"?

Slow going, but I've had a busy week. Had a wild Friday night with the last of the back stitching.

Now to figure out what to do with it.. Frames can be expensive. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ While I think on it, on to the next one that's been sitting for a few months ready to go!

Happy Friday, everyone.

The expression is perfect! I always mess up the face. Was this a pattern?

I vote frame! Go to Walmart and get a frame and mat it yourself. :)

Thank you! I enjoy back stitching, so I take my time with it and try to get all of the lines to be straight and match up. It was a kit I got off of a seller on Etsy. Someone above posted the link to the direct manufacturer, but there are lots of resellers online.

Two votes for frame. Thank you!

Omg I hate back stitching. Worse part of finishing an amigurumi too. Lol

Is back stitching for cross stitching the same as back stitching for amigurumi? I've always been fascinated by them and admire what you can do with string to create something like that!
