Love Us Love Our Cats

amarantineThis is my current WIP (work in progress) & my commission. Instead of it saying "Love Me Love My Cats, I am changing it to read, "Love Us Love Our Cats", since the commission is for a couple.
Progress pictures:
The kit is from Pinn-Stitch {http://www.pinn-stitch.com}. This was the first time I have ordered from them & though I did purchase skeins instead of using the floss that came with the kit it wasn't because the floss was bad. The floss was DMC which is the only kind I usually use. The problem is that the strands were only 18 in long & that is way to short for me. I start with the loop method & after folding the floss that only left me with 9 in of floss. I normally use about 36 in folded in half to create 18 in of usable floss. Why do kits not realize that people do know how to work with longer strands. Aargh, just my irratation.
