Psalm 23a Cross Stitch Pattern by Cody Country CrossStitch

It's beautiful when it's done, but this is, to date, the hardest pattern I've ever attempted. It is a black and white pattern, so the first thing I did was break out the coloring pencils and put some color on it. That helped. But, the actual stitching, well, I was sitting here with a ruler going line by line. Hard. Very hard. It's worth it in the end, but took 3 times longer than I thought. I thought a month, took over 3. It was a gift, so I don't have it anymore to take a photo.

This is definitely advanced pattern. The picture is beautiful . I have spent many hours doing this and am unhappy. There is a large amount of 612 and this is a definite contrast and stands out. Pictures are not always exact but this seems not to fit into the picture. I will not complete this, not because of the complexity but how it is looking. I was very excited about his but now very disappointed.

It's beautiful, but I took one look at the chart and I know I will never make it. It should be rated "EXPERT".
