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 😄

    This is very pretty! I don’t have the first thing I ever made, sadly. I originally started in 2010 when I was 17 so anything I did back then is long gone! Since I picked up the hobby again over winter I’ve yet to actually finish anything LOL.

      Thanks! Yeah I was lucky to not start a lot of crafts until my thirties, it’s much easier to keep track of stuff when you’re not moving around every six months!

      Here’s a secret, I’ve only finished one thing since Winter myself and it was really, really small 😂
