Oak King a Cross Stitch Pattern by White Willow Stitching

The image was beautiful but I was disappointed once I received the pattern: 1) The pattern is 16 pages long, all of it is in black and white symbols. 2) There is no back stitching at all. So much of this pattern could have been done in back stitch. Background swirls and outlines are all done in solid stitch, taking up more room and cutting down on the clarity of the image. 3) There is a high number of popcorn stitches across this pattern. It is hard to keep track when there are only one or two of a color and frustrating when you have inches of travel thread.
