Advent Day 2, a new x stitch start

Yesterday I prepared to start a x stitch that I had managed to buy on Ebay as a complete kit.
The fabric included was Aida and i prefer to work on 28 count evenweave linen, so I substituted it.

I purchased a pretty set of floss holders from Etsy.

Sorted all the colours out and labelled them on the back with their colour and symbol.

The pattern I chose.

Made a start along the borders, with my Penguin needle holder to keep me company.
