If there's one thing I dislike it's admitting defeat...in anything.
Another thing I dislike is kits. They either come with aida (eugh) or not enough threads. Or worse, a pile of threads to sort out yourself (for those who know me and mine, while I am not actually colour-blind like my dad and both my sons, I do struggle with some shades).
Sadly Silent Thoughts has me beat. Last month had me trawling the net looking for a particular metallic thread as there wasn't enough in the kit and I couldn't source it locally. Eventually I found some and cracked on with the project.
Last night I ran out of another thread, a thread made by the company who created the kit. Easy peasy, I can write and complain...right?
I refuse I spend any more time on it, especially since the company is no longer trading! Sure I could unpick all the motifs using that colour and re-stitch but I really can't be arsed.
So unless someone, somewhere in the stitching universe has a good length of Pearsall's Cream White 087, it's going in the UFO drawer!
