My first ever needlepoint was a birthday gift for my girlfriend — I have a new found respect for the craft

I made my first ever needlepoint for my girlfriend’s birthday. She’s really into the hobby, so I wanted to make something personal. I designed the pattern from scratch with AI, mapped it in Excel, before I painted it onto canvas. Her best friend and my local needlepoint shop gave me a crash course on threads and mesh, which made a huge difference. My favorite part was seeing the different stitches add depth. Biggest surprise? Lettering. So tedious. I had to redo a few bits, but it turned out better than I expected. She loved it, which made every hour worth it. And huge thanks to this sub. Your posts helped me so much.
