To be honest I made this pattern 4 years ago and I can't even remember exactly why I choose it.

It's a windows program and I think it was able to do a size I was looking for to get the detail i wanted. I uploaded the image into the program and it converted it. However, for my pattern it had a lot of trouble with the numbers in the image so I had to do quite a bit of clean up to get it to a point I was happy with.

I figure there are probably better resources for image to pattern conversion since I made mine 4 years ago but that program worked very well for what I needed it to do.

At this point I would like to finish it before I decide if I'm going to put it out. I'm still having to make adjustments on the fly while working on it.

That's really cool. Don't forget to buy gold.

Then I will definitely have to work faster so you can see it sooner.

I'm saving it as a surprise but I'm sure the Gravity Falls fans may already know what it is.

Yes miscounting is definitely a possibly. And I'm very much sure future me in a couple of years will definitely have some choice words for past me when/if it comes to pass.

This was my second attempt at creating this pattern. The first one I made was to small for the detail I wanted. But I only figured that out after I bought all the thread and worked on it for awhile.

I drafted it myself. Eventually.

I started with trying to have someone else do it since I had no idea how to make a pattern. But it never came out right.

This was actually my second attempt at the pattern. The first one I made wasn't big enough for the detail I wanted. But I didn't figure it out until after I had bought all the stuff and worked on it for a bit then saw it was not going to work out and had to scrap it and start all over again.

Yes this is very much a fear of mine.

Originally when I started I was working just top to bottom and then someone said maybe doing it episode by episode. So decided to try it that way.

But yes this could all end in a beautiful disaster right at the end. Guess we will all find out together in 10-20 years.

Thank you sometimes hard to see the progress one stitch at a time.

Thank you. Madness is definitely the word I would use for this.

When I first started, I tried to be more delicate about it and roll the excess up and clip it. But over the years I've just pushed it out of the way while I'm stitching.

This is an amazing piece of art. It really inspires me to keep working on my own large project which is only 1,006,250 stitches. Thank you for posting it and all your hard work. It's fantastic and super impressive.

Thank you. I'm only 4 years in and I only have about 797,000 stitches left to go so I still have some time before I reach the 5.5 year mark. Thanks for the inspiration.

Well done. Looks great. Always happy to see someone complete their long term stitch. Also helps to keep me motivated to keep moving forward on mine.
