Cryptid Stitchalong

[the_other_sandy]

The pattern is by The Witchy Stitcher. The fabric is 18 ct. aida in the color Colonial Parchment from Fabrics by Stephanie. It's a little more brown than it looks in the photo.

This is both the largest thing I've ever stitched and the first SAL I've ever finished (I have 2 more in craft prison I should get back to).

I really love this pattern.

Ha, I was just thinking "I should make sure Celli sees this!" and then I opened up the comments :D

Oh that's adorable, I love it!

I couldn't pass up Victorian gothic cryptids when I saw it.

That is super fun!

I really enjoyed working on it for the last 6 months. I can now do those tiny little skulls in my sleep.

This is awesome! I love the spooky border too!

Thanks! I love this pattern so much.

Awesome! I admire your stitching and your perseverance! For months I would see the same first few blocks on people's instagrams and Flosstube, but no one seemed to get beyond the first couple rows. Incredible to see it as a finished piece--you're clearly a cross stitch rock star!

Thanks! And yeah, I've only seen two other people finish it--one on Flosstube and one on Tumblr. But I don't know if that's because other people stopped stitching it, or if they just stopped posting about it.

Congrats on finishing, it looks awesome!! I got so far behind on the SAL it'll probably be years before mine is done, so it's nice to see it actually finished lol

I feel you. I'm shocked I finished. I have a stitchalong from 2015 that still isn't finished and hasn't been touched in 5 years.
