A while ago I bought a cross stitch pattern to make as a gift for friends who are expecting their first baby. At that point I thought: plenty of time to finish this!
And then life happened and yesterday I realised I only have two or three weeks left until the baby comes! Still enough time, but since I can’t work on it every day, I had to start sooner than later. So yesterday I sorted everything out and began stitching. Made good progress today, so feeling good about it
Biggest part is done!
I hate back-stitching though. Obviously it is sometimes necessary to give it a nice finished look, but I do not like doing it at all

@dikgelukkig Cute!
But omg yes to hating back-stitching. It's vexing, somehow? I have never been able to properly describe why I find back-stitching so annoying.

@calimae For me it’s partly that I don’t know if I’m doing it properly. I never looked up how to do it, so I just try to make it work, which doesn’t really feel ‘right’.
And the second thing is that I always make mistakes. Here too, I triple checked and I *still* got it wrong

@dikgelukkig It never seems to look quite how I think it should, either. And so easy to get it wrong! Then pulling it out to try again is treacherous... ugh.

@dikgelukkig it is extremely cute and you did a fanstastic job in stitching it with those slight color changes.
