I'M 142 HOURS AND I'M FINALLY TWO OF MY CROSS STITCH OF RIVENDELL THE RINGS. IF VIDEOS BEFORE, THAT FIRST PAGE A HALF TO DO. THE SECOND PAGE ONLY TOOK ME ABOUT TWO WEEKS. POST A VIDEO OF MY CROSS I ALWAYS GET WELL INTENTIONED PEOPLE USE A HOOP WITH MY PROJECTS. I'VE NEVER USED A SCROLL FRAME BEFORE, AND HONESTLY I WOULD LOVE TO TRY AT SOME POINT, DON'T HAVE THE FINANCES TO PURCHASE ONE RIGHT NOW. TRIED HOOPS AND Q SNAP FRAMES AND I JUST DO NOT LIKE THEM. ABLE TO FIDGET IN MY HANDS, HOOPER OR FRAME SOME ANXIETY ON HOW IT MIGHT RUIN OR FLATTEN SOME I'VE ALREADY DONE ON MY PROJECT. I DO UNDERSTAND HELP ME GO FASTER, SAME TIME SPEED IS NOT MY I DO WANNA JUST BE ABLE PROJECT AS WE GO ALONG AND I'M CONTINUING THINGS EVERYDAY. GOING TO STICK PATTERN FOR THIS AS WELL AS STITCHING IN HAND. THE NEXT QUESTION FOR ME IS HULF OF RIVENDELL. OR SHOULD I RIGHT HALF NEXT

Original caption

I locked tf in this week. 💪🏻 Cloth is Monks Cloth found at Hobby Lobby in the Needlework aisle. Pattern: Sunnyshopstitches on Etsy Note: i bought this pattern a long time ago, but I just recently visited their shop again and this creator seems to now make plenty of AI generated patterns which I do NOT support. This is not an AI generated pattern (was likely put through a pattern making software from an image) but do want to give that warning to people who might be interested in purchasing other patterns from this Etsy shop owner. Pattern Name: PDF Rivendell Sunset Cross Stitch Pattern DMC #happydahlhouse #crossstitch #lordoftherings
