I really don't like this project

But I have to do it or I don't get payed
I was asked by the owner of my local shop if I'd finish this bellpull off for a customer of her's who had started it done maybe 30 stitches on it before deciding it was to hard for her. 
I'm really not enjoying it but at least I don't hate it like I did the Lancaster Bomber I did for my Mum several years ago.

So I'm hoping that by posting it on here I'll get motivated to get it finished asap so I can work on something else

I think your LNS's customer is going to love it when it's finished! And she'll have you to thank for it!! Keep up the beautiful work...

You are doing a good thing for someone. Just think the quicker it is done then the quicker you can get to one of your pieces.

It's looking good - the customer will be pleased. You should chose a fab fab project for yourself ready for when it's finished - you'll beenkeen to do that then and maybe finish this quicker

It is looking lovely. Have a project in mind for when you have finished it will spur you on.

Looks to me like you have done a lot more than thirty stitches, so you did much better than the original stitcher.
I find it helps to make myself a promise when I'm working on something I'm unhappy with. So a finish means a new chart or kit.

It's looking good but I understand that feeling of having to work on something you don't want to - esp when there are other projects in the bag! x

Oo Shudders reminds me that I have to finish Isle of sark for the MIL, I really detest working on it!!

Very pretty. Keep going and you will have it done in no time.

Much much prettier than a Lancaster bomber.

I know that I've committed to something just to get it done in the past. About how much did she complete?
