I'm actually surprised at how well it comes across in the picture - at least the detail one. But yes, in real life you can see it better. On the other hand, maybe it's a good thing you can't see my stitches too well
I definitely need to improve there, but that will come with time and practise.

Thank you! Originally I wasn't going to do the shamrocks, but that looked too bare. It was a lot of extra work (and just when you think you've finished, as I decided it when I was on my second to last border), but I am really glad I did it in the end. It gives it that finishing touch.
