I've often eyed that design/kit on eBay, but was always afraid to get it because I didn't know what to expect from a xstitch kit from China. So it'd be interesting to see how it turns out.

everything is in the kit including 2 needles,,but only probles i have found is that the chart is plastic and i cant mark it as i go so hubbie is going to photo copy it at work and the other problem is i tells u to do half stitches but does not show you which way to do them so i have to guess,, but i cant start it yet ,,it wont be for a long time yet.

On my chart is says to do all stitches in the same direction, so for half stitches you'd go from the bottom left to the upper right. I've seen a lot of people do all their stitching going the other way, so perhaps its personal preference? Even Dimensions kit I have has a little chart for the stitches used and they always have half stitches and the first leg of the cross going from the bottom left to upper right with the second leg of the cross going from bottom right to upper left. I hope that makes sense. Good luck and can't wait to see your progress!
Oh wow!! That's beautiful. Hope the others don't take too long so that you can get round to this one, really pretty!!
