This is St. Nicholas, a Mill Hill Charmed Faces Santa from several years ago. It's stitched as charted with the provided materials. The only exception is that I used two strands of floss for the cross stitch instead of the three called for. I also left off the charm since it seemed to have enough bling without it. This is finish #2 for the year and took approximately 9 1/2 hours to stitch.
I've noticed that his hat isn't on straight, but it's stuck on pretty tight, so I figure no one will notice once it's on my tree. It's also fully finished, but I'll save that picture for the Fully Finished Gallery SAL next month.

He's great, his hat makes him look quite life like.
Congratulations on your finish. He's very charismatic and certainly different to a traditional Santa. Good to know you're already ahead for February's FFG! :)
Lovely work. I have a couple of these I want to make. I like the more jaunty angle of his hat!
Congrats on the finish and finished finish is even better.
I don't remember seeing that one before, he looks great! And I thought the hat was supposed to look that way.
