[FO] I was a victim of a pattern mill...but I finished the stupid piece!

My husband absolutely loves all of the crafts I make and after seeing me make gifts for several of my family and friends, he asked me to make him something.

He have me 5 options to choose from and i picked a Super Mario piece since he loves playing video games with our daughter.

This pattern had 27K+ stitches and 100+ colours. I should have known something was off when Boo was 900 stitches. It's a white ghost yet it had sooooo much confetti.

My husband suggested I give up and start something else but I'm stubborn and wanted to finish it. In fact, it just has become a running joke that I'd never finish.

Well, here it is. 220 days, spread over 2 years, and a total of 243 hours.

Now my husband will pay to frame this garbage and hang it above our tv in the basement, where he and our daughter play their switch.

I can't even tell you the store I bought it from since surprised surprise, they shut down.

Be careful out there, folks!
