I wish I had found this hobby sooner. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to do it. I would buy kits, do it wrong, finish my thread to early and get annoyed. Then a yearish ago I realised you don't need kits and you can just buy the thread and a pattern. So I went on Etsy, found this lovely pattern and finished this 2ish months later, having completely fallen in love with the hobby. Pattern: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1518950398/magical-wizarding-castle-cross-stitch?ref=shop_home_active_31&pro=1&sts=1&logging_key=7664e3625b2f4caa527578ed2b9740345e008344%3A1518950398
