My Garden Birds Kit

Just started it. Not used to having a grid on Aida cloth but think it may make it easier. The grid pattern is very small so hard to follow

Great little kit, easy for my elderly hands to make.

Arrived within a few weeks from China. Comes with pre-sorted threads, colour/symbol chart with instructions, aida cloth with printed grid, needles, thumb protector, needle threader and scissors. Received a discount for purchasing three kits. I have started this kit and find the grids helpful as I could start in a corner instead of the middle. The colour/symbol chart is at times confusing, with the symbols being in similar colours and patterns. But that could just be me being used to black and white charts. The 14 count aida cloth is very small and stiff, maybe I am just getting old. There are a lot of white areas in the kit which have to be cross stitched (am doing a bit 23 x 6 cm which is taking a while). The grid still shows through the finished white areas. However, the instructions say to wash it at the end and the grid will go away. Hope this works when I finish the kit in 15 years! There are also areas where there are just a few stitches of one colour, so this detail takes time. I can see this kit will keep me busy for many hours/years!
