Faulty Kits
Okay this is really pissing me off. Now the first kit, I understand. I bought some cross stitch kits at the dollar store, and I opened one today to find that it was missing all the yellow and orange colored thread for one of the parts. So it was a total waste, other than I canibalized the kit for the canvas and thread and made a baby thing for a friend of a friend.
I'm still in a crafting mood, and I had this small ornament sized kit that I've been putting off making for awhile, so I bust it out. Now I know I got this from either Michael's or Beverly's - i.e. REAL craft stores at full price. AGAIN, the list of colors is calling for a green and a dark green and there's only one color green in the thread the kit came with. Also calls for a yellow and a bright yellow, and there's only one color of yellow in there. What the fuck?! The kits were two different manufacturers, and at least one, NeedleMagic, I've worked with a lot before and never had this problem. It's really frustrating, and I guess I'll just use the one color for both colors called for. At least it's a small kit and so using the same color yellow or green instead of the two variations won't be noticed that badly. It just really irritates me that, not only did this happen but it happened twice in one day and I've never had this problem before. Also, Posterous finally has different designs. Swell!
