Stitch Power-Seeking Fighter, a counted cross stitch kit by RTO — a fierce rooster with a red comb and a flaring tail, painted in bold rainbow watercolour splashes of violet, blue, magenta and gold. Worked in 44 colours of DMC stranded cotton. A little stitcher's folklore: the rooster is a symbol of courage, confidence and the rising sun, and in many traditions its crow chases away bad luck. Stitchers say this one gives you the confidence to win every battle. Why this kit: if you love bold, modern art, this rainbow rooster is full of energy and colour — a real statement piece. A great gift for anyone born in the Year of the Rooster, or who needs a boost of courage. Kit includes: 14-count white Zweigart Aida (100% cotton), DMC stranded cotton in 44 colours, a needle, a colour symbol chart and instructions. A frame and hoop are not included. Start with the head, comb and eye, then work the bright feathers section by section. Finish with the loose watercolour drips and splashes around the bird. Finished size: 21×32.5 cm (8.27×12.8 in). A bold, colourful picture to frame and a memorable handmade gift.
