During the first lockdown I was going crazy and needed to find something to keep my mind busy (and keep my sanity!) I tried cross stitching and have been completely hooked ever since! I thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to start a new hobby. Who else here cross stitches ?

@YesWay yes, true. But it takes a lot of time. And need to be more detailed plus the eye factor. Lol I still have some threads and clothes til now

@rakski it does take a lot of time but I find it a good leisurely way to spend an evening

I've tried. I failed. Not going to try again. Guess I don't have it. But that's okay. I'm more into writing.

@prinzcy yes it is not for everyone - we all need to have a hobby though and it’s great you have your writing

@janet357 oh dear haha - that isn’t good! Did you try counted cross stitch or stamped? There are stamped kits now where the pattern is printed onto the fabric which is a little easier
