Check out Ebay for cheap kits.
My recent purchases have included 2 x Flower Fairy kits, A Digger & DMC Curly Tail (All decent sizes) all of which have cost under £5 each including p&p.

Re: Any kits going spare?
I agree with Mrs MBK, if your looking for a large freebie chart you can't go too far wrong with a HAED!!!! No backstitch, no special stitches, just crosses!!!!
the DMC club is also not bad for bigger freebie charts.

Re: Any kits going spare?
I agree that the HAED free charts are a good idea if you want a big chart and there are some really great ones. I've downloaded quite a few though not started them yet. If you like animals the Freebie Christmas Chart is really lovely. We have a member who has done that one but I can't find that thread. Also the DMC Club site has some great free charts. I am also one who hates kits so have no suggestions there. Good luck and remember to post updates on whatever you decide to do.

Re: Any kits going spare?
I have a Butterfly thing. really vivid colours, or a palm tree in a pot. by no means "small" probably at least 9inches+KateThePlate wrote:I will defo be stitching a few of the smaller ones but in the meantime, does anyone have any ideas for a larger one? I have yet to find anything that inspires me, maybe a cute animal or something?
if you PM your mailing address i can donate a kit. I know i will probably not do them (for a long time anyway) You are more than welcome to have one of them (Lucky dip style)

Re: Any kits going spare?
You could also try carboots as you can get the occasional bargains including magazines or full kits. I bought a kit ages ago on a carboot and sold it on eBay just before Christmas due to being stored for over 2 years. I bought it for just 50p and sold to someone from China for over £50!!!
I may have some charts around here somewhere, what do you like to stitch?

Re: Any kits going spare?
Hi Zoe. Well I like stitching animals, or scenes. But I have done various things so far, mostly small. Not had the means to do big ones but definitely wanting to get going once I've got the stuff needed. I would be very happy at anything you could offer. xx

Re: Any kits going spare?
Kate do you have a 'The Works' where you live?
There is someone on the Facebook page who has picked up some kits in their local outlet for £4.99.
Might be worth a look

Re: Any kits going spare?
Glad to help a fellow stitcher as someone who has been helped in the past. The kit was a gift from a stitcher from America whose only condition was that it be stitched or passed on for free not for profit. So glad you liked them all (99% of the charts anyway lol) Have to say I only posted them at 4.30pm yesterday so wasn't expecting them to arrive so soon lolKateThePlate wrote:Zoe is an angel.
