The allotment is finished!

[angrboda]

Hallelujah! The allotment is finished! I've been working on this for at least two years, but it's had a few rather long periods of dormancy. Some may recall, for example, my cabbage trepidation. Cabbages, of course went just fine with no unpicking needed. And hardly any backstitch adjustments actually.

I can now put this away for a bit. I want to make it up into a little bell pull, but I've so far been unable to find any fittings that a) I like and b) are the right size. Might end up actually just fabricating my own with a couple of bits of wood and some string. Either way this requires thought and consideration.

Photo is a bit rubbish because I was too impatient to wait for better light later in the day.

"Are those dandelions?" said Husband. "You don't have to put those in."

Wow, that's amazing! I love the layout of the garden, especially. How big is it IRL?

[angrboda]

Thank you. :)

The design size is 39.5 x 13 cm (15½ x 5¼ in). So it's a bit short for a bell pull but not too short. :)

Ah, very nice! I'm just getting back into cross stitch myself and this is a great inspiring project to look at!

Thank you. :) I despaired of it ever being finished at one point. (those cabbages!)
