Eight by fourteen inches equals roughly 22,000 individual stitches and just as many reasons to regret my poor life choices, but it’s DONE! I don’t want to think about how many hours of work went into this, but I’m so pleased with how it came out. I’ve had this in the works for about a year now, working on it here and there, but the last few weeks I’ve really pushed to finish it up, and I’m super happy with how this came out.
Aww, this got reblogged recently and has been getting notes, and oh man, what a nostalgic blast from the past!! This ended up being the only complete homestuck cross-stitch I ever did (I haven’t given up on sbahj, but i think i need to redo the pattern, which. sobbing.) but this was the start of a great cross-stitch era in my life! I’ve recently picked it back up, and am literally like, no more than a day or two from showing off a new complete project, so this is incredibly timely, haha.
I really recommend this as a hobby to anyone who needs something creative to keep their hands busy! I don’t think the timing of my first cross-stitch era and my second are coincidental, it’s meditative and sooothing, and allows me to continue MAKING THINGS without being demanding in terms of creative initiative. I don’t know what i want to draw or write, but yes, I can continue stitching pixel after pixel of color. And I’m MUCH faster now than I was then, a year of work is definitely not necessary, that’s a project that fits into a month or less 😂
