Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hopefully this works, i received this yesterday and i want to start it but i have to be strict and say no ,as i have 3 others i am doing atm

What a beautiful design! I hope you are able to start it soon!!!

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.

It's a lovely design Grub. I hope you can hurry up with the other 3 and get to this soon!

Lovely design, its so annoying when you want to start something else but you know you shouldnt lol

Lovely kit! I have that problem- so many charts I want to start, but not enough time LOL.

Great chart! I hope you can get to it soon as well, it looks so pretty.

nice design!

Beautiful! This may be a silly question, but are plastic charts something that is common with Chinese kits?

Lovely!

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!

Lovely design, I can understand why you are keen to start it.

Oh wow!! That's beautiful. Hope the others don't take too long so that you can get round to this one, really pretty!!
