It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play....

I finished a project last week and today I would like to share it's story with you all!

The picture I have made the pattern from:

Morning of 3rd July 2011:

Yes, that is exactly how long it took me to notice that I was stitching in the wrong colour!! I was following the correct symbol for that colour, but for some reason the key chart had printed off wrong :'( and I didn't check the original picture and didn't twig that it was too green until I got to this point. So, I put it down. Had a little RAWR attack and a cry. Picked it up and unpicked the lot!

Afternoon of 3rd July 2011:

 And later on that evening after I had restarted:

 And so you can see the likeness, the pic of the design and the finished cross stitch:

I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. I think it ended up taking me so long because I had to restart it - I think that played a part in me not picking it up very often. That and the million and one other things I like to do all at the same time ;)
