Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
there are symbols just very hard to see in the squares..
and I also noticed that it seemed only one of the colors are scented!

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
I'm suprised it's just the one thread but maybe if it were more it might be too overwhelming?

If there were more than one scented thread in the project you might get all the scents mixing into something less than fragrant

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
Well, I could imagine apple and cinnamon mixed together, or coffee with vanilla... There would be some nice smell combinations.
(actually, this is what I am doing for my christmas biscornu: I bought some apple and some cinnamon smelling granulate, I will mix them and put some in the middle of the filling)

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
I've never heard of scented thread before! That's really interesting. I wonder how long the scent lasts after you're done stitching it?
The design is cute too. Hope its not giving you too much trouble!

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
ok this is where i'm leaving this at..once i backstitch the 2 sweets.
The chart is not my favorite...as in how they do the symbols.
So anyway..i'll just backstitch and then give this to my daughter in a small frame..or something..lol
now off to do something fun!
I'm glad I did curb my curiosity on these though.
Oh and I've sniffed..been about 2 days since i've done what's pictures and not much of a smell at all.. very very faint.

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
Oh...sorry to know that it turned out short on your expectations...but what you've stitched is really cute and sweet!
Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
That is a shame that you are not happy with the chart because the pattern is very cute. You have made a wonderful little gift for your daughter.

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
Thanks for testing though C-F. I don't think, based on how you've found it overall, that I'd be up for one of these.
Like the design you made up for your daughter though.

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
It's a shame that you didn't like the kit that much, but what you've done is very cute, I'm sure your daughter will love it.
I know what you mean about those type of charts - the chart for my Chinese dragon is one of those horrible ones where it's coloured with symbols as well and you can hardly read the symbols. The lighter colours are ok, but there are several dark greens in it which are nearly impossible to decipher
