It's done! In under three months. I had to take two days off this week because I ran out of purple beads. Here's a close up for the detail on the head. A few notes for those deciding to stitch this design. While the pattern told me what I needed to stitch this, it failed to mention quantities. You will need two skeins for the following #'s. 420, 422, 677, 738, 792, 794. You will need minimal amounts of the following #'s. 991, 3346, 3765. You will also need 3 packages of Mill Hill 40252. On a different note, my cat decided to sleep on my clean robe.
I started this a while ago. The Marcelle afghan. But I was running out of yarn on the final round. Put it away for a while. Then forgot where I put my pattern. Found it again. Frogged everything and redid it with a smaller hook. Also messed up on round 71 four times and didn't realize it until round 73... There were only 74 rounds. 2nd pic is it on my queen bed. Now to pick a new project...
I've reached the bottom left corner of In the Garden. I also have managed to pack 90% of what I'm taking with me. 90% of these boxes are craft supplies. I still have a few things upstairs, including the majority of my cross-stitch and the storage drawers most of this will go in. It will all be moved Saturday to my new place.
Beautiful.
