DOES NO ONE TEST THESE? OR EVEN OPEN THE BOX??
I'd like to know what happened in the product testing team?? Last year's Christmas cross stitches were a little odd, and all had heaps of outlining in black, but these ones seem like a last minute rush job. It's obvious from the listing that no one actually opened up the box to see what the colours were, since my gonk has a grey beard where as the listing has a white one. The listing is also a digital render rather than an actual cross stitch.
The pattern was VERY difficult to follow since the grid lines weren't centered for the pattern. It claims to be a 40x38 stitches design, but the pattern is 45x45 stitches!
The pattern doesn't fit in a 3 inch hoop. I know its meant for aperture cards, but I use them as tree ornaments, and so when the hoops are on half price during the year I get a lot, ready for Christmas. Now I'm going to have to go back and buy 4 inch hoops and hope that I have enough aida to fit!
You have a lot of colleagues who could probably test them for you, but you obviously chose not to do that.
Very disappointed.

No time at all
Every year I say that I'm not going to buy any more mini kits from you and then you bring out something so cute I just have to have it!! This kit is up to the quality I expect from Hobbycraft. Easy to follow instructions, plenty of thread included and stitched up in next to no time.
