Oh, and try and find cross stich kits that are 14 count aida (like Ffi said), if you want to make it pretty easy or 18 count at a push. Hardanger and Linen are a higher count, therefore smaller squares & harder to do. I did something on 40-odd count once and nearly went blind and insane at the end...LOL...you also need to stitch more with higher count fabric because higher count = smaller area covered per square...
