1.0 out of 5 stars No color keys included with these charts
None of the charts included with this calendar include a key linking the symbols on the charts to the DMC color code numbers. The author asks the stitcher to match the picture and chart to a DMC color code card which is time consuming and boring, and likely to lead to errors from the original design. Major flaw.

1.0 out of 5 stars Colors?, January 6, 2004

Kiri (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2004 Cross-Stitch Design & Pattern-a-Day (Calendar)
Had I known there was no color key with this calendar I would not have purchased it--very cute patterns but essentially useless without the key. Particularly for us older stitchers who have trouble distinguishing slight variations in color, this is merely an exercise in frustration. When I contacted the company, they suggested I use my own color choices, which is not why I buy patterns in the first place!

1.0 out of 5 stars NO COLOR KEY SYMBOL CHART, December 31, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: 2004 Cross-Stitch Design & Pattern-a-Day (Calendar)
I agree with the previous reviewer. Although many patterns to choose from and a DMC floss color key, the pattern symbols do not have a chart that corresponds to the coordinating color key that is included; therefore the color key has no purpose. After contacting the publisher, Accord Publishing, it was suggested that I create my own color codes for each symbol and that due to space constraints, a symbol chart was intentionally not included. I will not be purchasing another calendar from this publisher or author.
