Review on Design Works Counted Stitch Stocking by Summer Hendricks

This is my first negative review! The cute pattern is the only positive thing I can say. This stocking was my 11th stocking I've made over the years and I've never had a problem prior to this set. First, the imprint itself on the pattern was so small that I had to use a magnifying glass most of the time. Another problem with the pattern is that many of the characters are similar and therefore difficult to distinguish. Second, there was not enough thread! For me it was the first time! I know they will send you more threads if you ask, but who has time to wait 2-3 weeks for more threads? And most of the flowers were short. They gave the DMC code but they didn't match perfectly. So many trips to the craft store for yarn! And finally the alignment of the stocking. I didn't realize it until I had completely finished sewing it and was ready to sew the lining and back. All of my other stockings have the lace left (as you can see) BUT IT'S BACK! To say I was devastated would not be an exaggeration! I still can not believe it. Too many hours to waste, but one of these things is different than the others! So be careful!
