Hello everyone!

@Hester Welcome
I'm also very new to cross stitch. It's a fun practice to explore. Are you following kits so far or have you branched out to your own designs?@allysseriordan ooh a fellow newbie, great! I started with some free patterns and cheap thread. After that I bought a kit, which is nice and easy, but I found the amount of fabric given to be very.... frugal. So now I'm buying pdf patterns and kitting up myself! I actually love doing that, much more than I expected.
How about you? Kits or kitting up? -

I've found a kit from the V&A so I'm working on that at the moment. Ultimately I should end up with a nice bookmark. It's been nice to start that way. I was a but overwhelmed when I started looking into what's needed. The kit is a nice reassurance but now that I have an idea of what I'm doing, I think I'll look up a PDF pattern for the next projecThat's not going to be for a while though as I'm also very busy with a crochet shawl >.<

@allysseriordan haha ah yes, the hardship of the multicrafter. There's just too much fun stuff to do! Very relatable

@Hester do you tend to have many projects on the go too?

@Hester do you tend to have many projects on the go too?
@allysseriordan yes absolutely! I really have to restrain myself to not start everything I want to start. But I also want to finish stuff, so that's what I'm trying to do

That is indeed a lovely cross stitch!
