one BILLION eerie portraits

Original - my pattern

I had the unedited pattern sitting in stitch fiddle for forever but I’m glad I finally finished this!!! I took some more liberties than usual with recoloring spaces (hsy on the right’s hair) but I think it looks good.

Not all wip pics are included but I got significantly better at taking them every day! Fun fact: the final day I was working on it, I did rows 128-138 in the afternoon with the goal of hitting 150 in the evening. I then finished it. Such is the power of putting on a good movie and zoning the fuck out during the boring top rows.

The back! Preblocked so it’s wonky but I did a decent job with not going overboard on bobbins… kinda… weaving in ends is a problem for later me

Weird coincidence - Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan by Ilya Repin

No real connection, just interesting

It’s reversible! Ends aren’t woven in but the back is essentially the same as the front.
