This was mine. A random poppy kit that I think was by Dimensions? I think?

It was 2015 and I'd been meaning to try cross stitch for ages but given my existing yarn collection at the time I couldn't really afford to jump into a whole new hobby. Hence this kit as a birthday gift, and that was that! Hooray for the enablers in our lives, eh?

Also still have the first random sample rectangle I ever knitted, and my first crochet attempt of a very wonky flower πŸ˜„

I do have mine! Somewhere...? It was an Oddish, the pokemon, and I looked nice from a distance, but very messy upclose I used the whole thread so it has a very tapestry feel to it, and the xs are absolutely random. I did do a fantastic job on the tension considering I did it without any hoop or frame, tho, but went my entire childhood freehand embroidering like that on and off.

I'll try and find it and then I'll come back here and post the lill frankenOddish.

Ah I love Oddish, bet it's actually a super cute project. Remember the three feet rule, hardly anyone gets closer than that to our stitching anyway πŸ˜„
