   The design itself isn’t bad, but it is difficult to be nice about the color choices. With all of that solid, unwavering yellow-gold in the background, I wonder what the ratio of sold kits to finished projects was.

     “Unwavering yellow-gold” is well put. I don’t want to be unkind, but it does seem as if the Jedi Master is – how shall I put this? – trailing feces. He does live in a swamp, I guess.

     What he needs is a snake around his neck!

         Btw, all this talk of LHR kits is making me want to hunt for the one I did. I wonder if my mom kept it…I’ll ask her.

   Latch Hook Rug Kits = retro pixel art.

     Yeah. Some talented people (see commenter Allison above) make kick-ass designs for knitting.

   I always liked the backside of these better than the front, there is your pixel art.

   I had a Chewbacca one, myself. Not sure what happened to it, but it was finished (by my mother.)
