I decided to start stitching again and purchased a kit on eBay that included 2 projects, with 4 additional patterns in the book. So I have my first two projects sorted - even if one of them isn't exactly my style - it's all about learning right now for me :) At the moment, I'll be using a 24 size needle as it's what came with the kit. Aida 14 also came with the kit, it will have two pieces (one for each project). I'm looking into getting a few different sized needles as well as a few different sized hoops. The kit came with a 6" (I believe, may be 5") plastic hoop (I don't have it in front of me to look). Things I need to learn - how to stitch everything outside of whole stitches and back stitches (Lol). I also think it'll be easier for me to use fabric that has the print already on it or how to easily add it myself (if needed).

Я тоже думаю, что начинать нужно с чего то небольшого и базового.
