I DID IT!
For the first time in many years, I kept track of how long this took. Getting these little people to be themselves took a very very long time. (Don’t ask—not telling). It is probably (past) time to raise my prices.
Finished.

Wow! This is amazing!!
Michelle, thank you, and welcome! Honestly, I’m rather amazed myself.
Wow! A labour of love. I’m sure it’s bittersweet to be done…perhaps mostly sweet after all the time and effort.
Elisabeth, it was accidentally a labor of love, because I didn’t charge enough. But mostly “I work for money, not for fun, I want my money when my work is done.” It is always better to spend time drawing something difficult than to be a waitress.
Cool design! Well done – I can only imagine the improvement in your anxiety level to have this finished.
Donna, the drawing wasn’t actually due until April, but I couldn’t wait—had to know immediately if I could do it or not.
There’s a stopwatch app on your phone that you can start. But then you have to remember to stop it when you’re done for the day!
Great picture! Good for you!!
THANK YOU, ELAINE! Excuse me for shouting. I am gobsmacked by the difficulty and thrilled with the results. Might get a fat head about it.
Beautiful!
Thank you, Kathy! I agree. 😎
Congrats! I bet you’re relieved, and I hope you’re pleased!
People ask me all the time how long it takes for me to crochet a blanket. I tell them, “An hour here, 2 hours there, 30 minutes, 3 hours . . . who knows?” I sort of kept track once or twice, and it came out to about 60 hours for an adult afghan, and 40 hours for a baby blanket. Whew!
Sharon, thank you, and yes, both relieved and pleased.
Keeping track of hours almost slows the progress. It’s hard to remember to write it down.
