Review on 🧦 Personalized Christmas Stocking Kit 'Snow Bears' by Dimensions - 14 Count Blue Aida Cloth, 16'' for Counted Cross Stitch by Morgan Gilmore

I just finished sewing this stocking and it turned out adorable! Took me about 3 1/2 months and worked on it for 2 hours almost all day. The chart is very easy to navigate. I have more than enough of every color except the light silvery blue used for trees and snowflakes. The only thing I didn't like was that the large white areas at the top and bottom were marked with half stitches using 4 white threads. In the picture, the white areas appear very white and full. When I did it in half stitches it didn't look like it. The Aida fabric that comes with the kit is light blue so the white half stitches didn't fill it in completely. Blue allowed a lot to show through. So it didn't look as full (like snow) as in the picture. So I took it out and used 3 white threads and did cross stitches instead of half stitches and it looked so much better! Yes it was more work but it looked way better than the picture. It's a very, very cute stocking, and it really wasn't that difficult. The white areas seem to last a very long time, but you don't have to switch colors often and it's just white. So I placed the film and just flashed it. It's hardly worth paying attention to. The hardest part was the shadows under the bears, because a lot of the colors are very close together and you often have to switch threads. The white sections really weren't that bad. It was my first big project and it wasn't that bad.
