It took 8 months to complete. I love that these kits have everything you need to complete it (I have two). I had enough rope for what I needed. The fabric is a bit stiff but I rinsed it with water, let it dry and it became soft. I also apply some glue around the edges to prevent fraying. When I was finished I ironed it and smoothed out the creases from using the embroidery hoop. The pattern is two sides long, which is a bit annoying when working in the middle because you have to constantly line it up and make sure you're in the right place. It is not very difficult, but there are many color mixtures, half stitches and full stitches. So if you are a beginner it may be overwhelming for you but not impossible. I screwed up a lot with this, but luckily the image was easily hidden. One stood out and will probably stick with the Dimensions kits when I can, although I haven't tried the other kits to compare against them yet.
