A finished object to show! :) I've been working on this, off and on, for probably 3 years, maybe 4. I can't remember exactly when I bought it.
As my eyesight got worse, I just quit working on it altogether. Several times I took out my contacts and examined work I had just done and discovered I'd missed several stitches or even gone over two stitch holes instead of one. I decided I needed to just put it aside before I totally ruined it.
After my cataract surgery I got it back out again and wow! I could actually see the holes and actually tell when I'd messed up a stitch at the time I actually messed it up. (Except on the black areas - those I still needed to take out my contact and get "nose touching the fabric" close to see mistakes. I don't have a good magnifying glass.)
This poor thing went across the Atlantic with me at least 4 times - 2 times each direction. A least 4 times. This last time I never even opened the bag it was in - too busy playing with my grandson!
So, here it is - finished.
Ok - it's NOT finished, no, not quite. It has to be cleaned, blocked (it's not really that mis-shapen!), framed and hung on the wall. I'll put it over in the corner beside my other bunnies. :) :) :) On the wall above Fishie.
