It was random suggestions from commenters! If you look through my page, you'll see a lot of progress photos

I backed it with felt and hung it in the hoop 🤩

The first time I ever interacted with her in the game, i was obsessed and married her. She's comforting. It felt deserved that she was the first NPC I've stitched.

This just gave me an amazing idea 💡 😍

If you got to pick, which NPC would you ship with Abigail?

Maybe find a different design that would allow you to use the squares in an orientation that matches what you have! There are a lot of Granny square bag patterns out there! Make your own up! Crochet is the best for that

My jaw dropped. These are GENIUS

Yeah, small goals can help! Sometimes I just vow to "look at it for a while and decide what needs to be done... " and I'll actually do it.. later sometimes 😅

It is great when frogging can give us the gratification too! I love this color and I hope you get some steam to try it again. The pattern looks sooo well done, it must have been a lot of work 💗

I adore that green!! It's a stunning stitch. I hope you get a fresh wind on it. It looks like a lot of work, so it's understandable if you'd rather do something else!

Are you planning to circle back eventually or have you just lost interest?

Sunk-cost fallacy won't let you abandon it, but displeasure doesn't allow you to resume! It sucks

That happens to me as well. If I work on a certain project while thinking about something, I'll think about that thing every time I work on the project...unless I do something else that catches my attention more, like watching my favorite show or movie. Sometimes, I've been able to retrain my brain

Good idea... I'll have to check! It'll be tight

Take a break, then leave the section you're frustrated with alone for a while and work on a section that you're confident about for some gratification. Maybe by the end of that, your perspective may change!

Canon event. I divorced Seb for Sam but it's better the other way around.

I'm a tiny bit superstitious. I'd wait until marriage for a sweater
Anything else is fine premaritally, imo

I think you're right! I'm already feeling that way too

Great guess, but not quite!

Ya know, funny enough, that was the very first thing I tried to add and I didn't have the colors. I might have them now tho. I'll check!

Since I bought this for my friend about 2 years ago, we've semi regularly scheduled craft dates where we take turns forcing each other to watch our favorite movies or shows while working on our projects together ❤️

I gave my friend one out of curiosity if she'd like it. She worked on it for 4 days straight and then ordered 16 more. Take the risk! They may find something they'll love to do.

Honestly, I started it as a practice project to learn with, but now I'm obsessed with it and can't wait to hang it up ❤️

You should! I didn't watch any videos or anything. I literally just tried to do it. 🪡🧵✨️

I really relate to the fact that Shane is on your list twice lol. His blue chicken was the second item I added!

This is, by far, the coolest embroidery I've ever seen.
