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

@Hester nice
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 projec

That's not going to be for a while though as I'm also very busy with a crochet shawl >.<

@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?
