Embroidery Kit The Hobbit: Gandalfs Pipe - DIY Counted Cross Stitch Bookmark with Lord of The Rings Pattern

One of my first cross stitch projects. Lots of fun.

I am a total rookie with cross-stitching, but I had a blast with this product. Additionally, I have a fun bookmark! You will see some mistakes I made on the bordering - my fault! I will definitely order more. This makes for a great gift.

I would have given this a 5, but there are no instructions on how to actually do the stitching along the boarder. I had to watch a few YouTube videos. The boarder is a messier than I like, but overall great project! Took me 3 days working on it in my spare time at night. Probably could have completed in one day. I bought 4 more bookmarks for family and friends that liked it!!

The bookmark was a great introduction to cross-stitching. A simple pattern that was fun to do. The only issue was that the instructions page didnt seem like it was meant for this product. It was a bit misleading and confusing. I had to look online for more clear instructions for different stitches. It turned out great though.

Fun and quick project! So excited to give this as a gift.
