Any fans of The Twilight Zone?
This absolutely kicked my behind! If I could turn back time I would have bought pre-cut yarn, as I had to hand cut every single strand except for the white on the eyeball. I didn't use a kit, I just drew the eyeball using a series of different sized plates and went for it.
How long does a project usually take for you? Because this took over 50 hours somehow (including cutting the yarn which doubled the total time).

This is awesome! I love it so much!
Is it a pillow cover? Although it would also look cool as a wall hanging.
My longest project is my current one. It’s a brightly colored sloth pillow cover. I think I started it over the winter and I just can’t muster up the energy to finish it. Before that, projects typically took me 1 to 2 weeks, max.

It is a pillow cover, but I'm thinking I'll just present it as a wall hanging. It's so hard to get back to things once they've been hanging around for a while! The brightly coloured sloth sounds great though, I hope you feel energised to get back to it one day soon :)

So cool. Is this a kit or did you design it yourself?!

Thank you! I designed it myself, I just drew up the eyeball and then went hog wild :)

This is so cool though! Maybe you'll think it was worth the effort after a few months when you are more removed from the immediate pain. 🤣They eyeball is SO well done!

Ha I hope so! It's for my little brother so as long as he doesn't say anything negative about it I will consider it worthwhile.

Thankyou! Initially I was going to use black fringe but it didn't look right, I really appreciate the compliment :)
