My first finished piece! Sure it took 5 months to complete. But who's counting? C'est fini!
Here's the pattern (which is a kit). And they aren't kidding: it really is a good way to learn the basics.
Starter tools
These tools might actually be too much. Get into CX before you buy a lot of stuff like grid pens and lots of floss and boxes and such. Do a few kits first to see if you really like it and to keep your expenditure down to a minimum in case you don't. Be careful of the floss bundles on Amazon, IF you decide to go that way. I have read good and bad reports of the quality. Same with cheaper off-brands of aida (I think it's called MCG?), the count is sometimes wrong/uneven. Really, go with kits, don't dive in teh deep end yet. :)
Starter kit
We have a FAQ that has a bunch of info and ideas. Check it out here. We also have just opened our Continuous Craft Fair where a ton of our Resident Designers have links to their etsy shops and homepages, a super good source for patterns and kits. :) have fun!
Bought it on amazon here.
