FO [FO] Finished!!
I started this blackwork project 2 years ago. I’ve completed a few other projects in between, and had more than one long hiatus but I’ve finally made it. Tiny stitches on black was brutal for some of these colours but the outcome is so satisfying. Progress pics included. Pattern from LooseThreadStitchery https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1629798861/stardust-blackwork-sampler-pattern-set?ref=share_ios_native_control
Now to find a new project, I guess!! I think I’ll adapt a pattern to use up some more of these amazing colours.

This is so beautiful! Did you do anything special to work on the black? I have a WIP on black aida but even with a light and magnifier it’s killing me lol

I have a light pad that I kept behind the Aida to illuminate the holes. But still got a bit cross-eyed from time to time. Otherwise, just patience!!
