I finished all of the white! Yay! But. Realized yesterday that I goofed on the count. It's a square design & I didn't measure the diagonal when making the hoop. So the fully stitched design won't fit 🤬 Pattern: Dr Phosphorus by @craftybtchdesigns.bsky.social Hoop: @brainweasels.bsky.social

Partially stitched cross stitch design of Dr Phosphorus on 16 count black Aida. It is in a yellow plastic hoop. The floss colors are blues and winter white.
