Pirate Ship - Yarrrrrr

A wee bit late for the speed stitching contest over at stitchingpirates but I finally managed to finish this little ship (about two weeks ago,slacker).

Stitched 1 over 1 on 22count hardanger fabric and hand dyed to a dark blue/grey-ish by myself. It does set off all the colours quite nicely if I do say so myself. Also, I colour changed the flag from the original pink/red ish tone to green.

I left this one in my WIP stash for months and in the end it only took two hours for me to get my act together and finish it. That's how far I'd left it undone. Like at 99% with 1% to go. D'oh. Reason why I left it so long? Err.....I lost my interest with all those random stitches that didn't seem to make sense to me. Oops. I do like how it turned out though while cheating my way through by filling in those random stitches with a nearby colour.



But hey, better late than never!
