One of my very first cross stitch patterns. I remember making a few of these and giving them away. Working on the Paddington project made me nostalgic, so I decided to stitch these four too. They were perfect for stitching a few minutes here and there throughout the day as I was wrapping up my thesis.
There really is not much to say about this. The company Comar Creatief is a Dutch company, but it does not exist anymore. The designer has only left the signature (MJ) and I do not know who he or she is.
The cats are easy to stitch thanks to the limited number of colours and a very easily readable chart. Only one tiny mistake: the second cat has a missing symbol in the chart, but that was easily solved with some simple improvisation.
Unlike with the Paddington chart, the details were already visible in colour and only emphasized with the limited back stitching. And there were also few quarter back stitches in the charts.
My only bit of criticism on this piece is in relation to the fabric needed for the project. This never was a kit, just the chart, but it failed to give some information on size and count recommended. I guess it's easy to just count the couple dozen stitches of the design's width and height, but since this is a beginner's chart, some advice might have been nice.
