That’s great news! You should join the Lettuce Craft Stitchalong
It hasn’t been really active lately with all the other things going on, but I have three or four projects going and will be posting soon.
I have magnifying lighted glasses and also a white cloth to put on my lap when stitching on black so I can see through the holes. My favorite tool is probably my needle minder. I have a needlebook with only cross stitch needles as well.
