Sonnenblume Mini Kreuzstich-Stickset

I picked this up to have something to do on my lunch breaks and ended up finishing it in two sittings. The threads are pre-sorted, so there's no guessing which color goes where, and the needle it comes with is sharp enough for the canvas without any snags.

I've never cross stitched before and the bamboo hoop made it surprisingly easy to keep the canvas taut. Threads were already sorted by color, so I didn't waste time guessing which shade went where. Finished the little mushroom in two evenings and it's now hanging by my desk.

The bamboo hoop is sturdier than the flimsy plastic one I had before, and the threads didn't tangle once. Only thing is I wish there were a couple more needles, since I already misplaced the single one that came in the kit.
