I Think I Can - So Close!

I've got a leaf and a half to go and I'm done! I'll be so happy. My goal is to finish this in a week. I've learned some things about crewel and am less afraid of doing surface stitching now, but it will never be my favorite kind of stitching. It does, however, rank above the hated knitting. The flower turned out better than I thought it would. It smoothed out a lot and the wool poofed out to fill in the less covered spaces. Of course, it'll go to be critiqued and I'm sure that will turn out badly, but I don't care. It was new to me.
