I started this blog with a post about this project, so it's really only fitting that I break my long silence with another post about it :)
After 9 years, my oldest UFO is finally finished!
9 years of picking it up, putting in a few stitches, and putting it down for months on end. 9 years of loathing the fabric, disliking the pattern, but persisting out of sentimentality and my own masochistic desire to never give up (seriously, ask anyone who knows me irl about my master's thesis).
Done.
It feels good.
This hasn't been the only cross-stitch project I've done in the past 9 years, but awhile ago I decided that I wouldn't let myself work on anything else until this one was finished.
And now I'm free.
Well, crafting-wise anyway. There is still that pesky thesis...
I still need to wash and press the piece, but here are some more pics in the meantime:
It's good to be back :)
