I learned to cross stitch from my Granny when I was little. As life happened I stopped doing it then seemingly random, I decided I wanted to start cross stitching again. I have an old kit from my Granny that I still use today, but when it comes to making patterns, I use a much more modern process!

For creating my own cross stitch pattern, I use pic2pat.com. It works insanely well for such a complex process.
