These days, my random wheels keep hitting projects that are close enough to a finish to just stick with them, so that is what I'm doing! In February, I finished Charming, a Dimensions Gold Petite kit that I bought on our trip to California in 2018 (it was one of the big crafting chains that had it on clearance, can't remember which) and started in the hotel while we were visiting Yosamite. It came with me to Japan in 2019 too, so lots of memories in this one!
I had worked on it on and off, so this month I only had to finish about ~1,200 stitches, plus some back stitch. Here he is:
This was my first Dimensions kit, and I know many people curse them for the stiff aida and the four stand half stitches, but I have to say, I kind of like them! Which is a good thing because I got a bunch more in stash. We'll see when I can get to them, but for now that's one less WIP on the go!

Well done! This is darling.
Wow this is gorgeous. I'm weird , i like Dimensions kits for the reasons people dislike it. I actually like stiffer aida because with non stiff aida my stitches get wobbly.
Beautiful kitten! I actually love the Dimensions kits. I feel like the extra threads give them a lot of texture, and they have a lot of nice detail. I swap out the fabric for linen (which is sometimes an issue when using 4+ strands - holes get pulled very large) but the charts are great. :)
Beautiful finish! I go back and forth on the fabric. Sometimes it's fine, other times I've changed it out.
