I don't know how to cross stitch (and did absolutely zero research before starting this kit), but this is a mood, especially after I realized I miscounted and put the s one space off and now have to pull it back out.

I applaud your willingness to jump in with zero research and figure it out ๐Ÿ˜„ But you already do proper embroidery which let's be honest is way harder. Cross stitch will just be a relaxing diversion compared to that!

I feel like this is harder! Maybe because if you mess up, you can't just be like, "fuck it, put a flower over it" like you can with a lot of embroidery. You have to be a lot more precise with cross stitch.

Haha, fair point! Although I reckon a lot of cross stitch patterns would be improved with the addition of a random 3d flower ๐Ÿค”
