Oh wow, your first post of the year and it's a Happy Dance! A giant enormous Happy Dance for your most epic project. No wonder you haven't blogged this year, you've been too busy with your nose to the needle LOL It really does look amazing now you have finished but also a little sad because we won't see it so much.
I ditto Jo above. Such a labour of love but so worth every stitch. There must have been times when you thought this day would never arrive, but it has and now you can Happy Dance to your heart's content! Huge, huge, huge congratulations!! :)
I can't believe you finished it, it looks amazing =) All those years you spent working on this were truly worth it, the result is just stunning. So big congratulations on this one! I will surely miss your updates on this one, but you have many more lovely projects to show =)
Congratulations on your huge achievement! It's so inspiring to see a large project like this actually finished. I'm sure your parents will love it! Looking forward to seeing what you decide to stitch in its place.
I can't believe it's finished either! I've watched you stitch this since page 1. I've always admired that you've been able to stay motivated and it's been inspiring. You should be so proud of it, it's amazing and how fast have those years gone in retrospect? I for one can't wait to see what you choose yet.
I'm happy dancing with you! Congratulations on a great finish! It's been through so much with you, it'll feel strange to read your blog and not see your progress.
You deserve to be proud of yourself! This is amazing finish! I am so jealous. I have such a hard time finishing anything, and I am always drawn to the huge projects. I am proud for you! Way to go!!!!
I swear I commented on this. Sorry it's a bit late now but I had to leave my mark on this very important post. I still remember the first page finish on this beauty. It feels like you've been working on it for such a long time but it also feels like it happened really quickly. Weird right? Love love this project and it's a bittersweet moment as I'm happy for you that you've accomplished such an amazing finish but I will also miss seeing this wip. Oh well, time to get your teeth into something just as fantastic. Congratulations stunner. It's amazemballs!!

Finally! Last night, just before midnight, I put the last stitch into College and stitched my initials and the date. A five-year labor of love (with other projects in between) finally finished.
Here it is when I first started this blog:

Here it is last time I posted:

And now:

I can't really believe it's done. But it's done! Now I will wash it, iron it, and frame it. I can't help but stare at it for extended periods of time. Is it perfect? No. But I am really, really proud of myself.
151,200 stitches. 5 years. On to the next.
Thank you all for being part of my journey in finishing College of Magical Knowledge.
Edited to add: I couldn't have done this without H³.
