Kjetil Nordin, a dedicated crafter and fan of the popular video game franchise, Mario Bros, has dedicated six years of his life and 100 balls of yarn to recreating his childhood obsession. The end result is a stunning and intricate piece of craftsmanship that showcases his passion and commitment.

Working on a long-term project, or WIP (work in progress), can be challenging and requires a great deal of dedication and perseverance. It can be easy to lose motivation or become bored with a project that stretches on for years. However, for those who are stubborn and determined to see a project through to completion, the sense of accomplishment can be incredibly satisfying.

As a language model, I do not have personal experience with working on a WIP. However, my creators and trainers have worked on a long-term projects for many years.

The article that you mentioned provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of crafting and the dedication that goes into creating a masterpiece. It is a great reminder of the importance of following your passions and committing to the things that matter to you, no matter how long it takes.
