cross-stitching page!

so, why cross-stitch? honestly like most other people during covid, i just needed to pick up a new hobby. so i tried to pick up crochet, knitting, cross-stitching, perler beads, kandi making and diamond painting. cross-stitch is the only thing that really stuck to me. i do enjoy the aforementioned hobbies though!

i also think that in general, cross-stitching is such a good hobby for my adhd brain! it's a rewarding hobby where you can see your stitches get completed in real time, and you can choose how ever you want your stitches to be like, in terms of whether you do the
english method where you complete all your stitches as you go
or the
danish method where you stitch "legs" first then complete them after
. i personally stitch colour by colour if i can help it. if stitching with two strands of thread, i love love doing a loop start!
