Starting the Teapot Kit

Treasured Friend Teapot kit arrived yesterday. This will go faster than I had hoped, as it is mostly half stitches, more like needlepoint. The full stitches are the flowers and some highlights on the teapot, which will make them stand out from the teapot nicely. The fabric is beige aida, so the whole canvas does not need to be filled in.

I was not at all happy with the way Dimensions just dumps a hank of unlabeled threads in this kit. It took forever to untangle them, sort them out and try to figure out which color is which. They snag up and knot very easily too, maybe they use a cheap brand of floss. If I ever try another Dimensions kit I will plan to replace all the colors with DMC.
