I'm trying to establish a tradition for StitchBasel where I start a thing while at the retreat, but also finish one. So far, so good - I've started things all three years of the retreat so far, and had finished the last two. This year, I was determined to finish my Capybara in a Teacup, or Cup-ybara, by Needlelotdesigns. In fact, I had just reached 30 hours on this the day I was supposed to leave for the retreat:
With just over 1k stitches left, I was optimistic that I could finish this during the three day retreat. Although I did not do full days at the retreat (I decided to commute, which was about 90 mins of travel each day, so I usually showed up a little later in the mornings) I did about 400 stitches on Friday and Saturday each, which left me with just a little bit of work to do on Sunday, when I finished him at just over 37 hours:
That's him up on the wall at the retreat! I know need to pick out a frame and put him up on my wall, as I really like him and want to put him on proud display.
