These were both "beginners kits", with stamped designs on 11 count fabric. The stamping dissolves in warm water when you are done.

Those look great.
This is the kit I want to try out. I've looked at some YouTube videos on how to cross stitch and I think I find it easier with ring. I might order another kit in the same series and try one with and one without a ring. Also, I like the look of hanging it on the wall in a ring.
I've seen great designs on Etsy, both as a kit and as a downloadable pattern. In my mind cross stitching and embroidery is something that's very old fashioned and the designs are not to my taste. But then I've always heard horror stories of my mother's school days where she, someone who isn't creative, was forced to sew, cross stitch and knit.
