Povitrulya Sorry My Weekend is All Booked Counted Cross Stitch Bookmark Kit - Funny Quote Embroidery Set for Book Lovers, 9 Colours, 16 Count Aida

Povitrulya

COMPLETE BOOKMARK KIT - the line SORRY, MY WEEKEND IS ALL BOOKED in 9 shades of 100% cotton mouline. The kit holds two pieces of 16 count white Aida (one to stitch, one to back the bookmark), colour chart, pre-sorted floss on a numbered organiser, metal needle and full instructions. IMPORTANT - COUNTED CROSS STITCH: the Aida is blank, with no printed image on it. You follow the paper chart and count the squares. The partly stitched design leaves the background bare, so there are fewer stitches to work than a fully covered piece - it stitches up faster without losing any detail. COLOUR BLOCK CHART, NOT SYMBOLS - every shade is printed as a solid colour block rather than a look-alike symbol, so there is no squinting at * against + or b against 6. The floss arrives wound on a numbered organiser card that matches the chart key. FINISHED SIZE 6 x 19.5 cm (2.36 x 7.7 in) - a proper bookmark that sits flat in a paperback. Stitches used: full cross in two strands, back stitch, and buttonhole stitch to edge the two layers together. A JOKE THAT SURVIVES REPEATING - nine colours and a partly stitched design, finished in an evening or two. Made for the friend who declines plans on principle, and for book club Secret Santa.
