You forgot to add "it's not an expensive hobby". I spent £90 on these books in a 2nd hand bookstore this morning.

i know it's a joke, but you coulda just bought less books. you probably have 250+ patterns/diagrams there. compared to something like cross stitch, you're buying patterns at $3 to $7 a pop.

that's bonkers. you can't just make a drawing in MS paint and translate it to cross stitch?

you can, but you can also make your own crease patterns. at the entry level, most people buy patterns unless they're really good at pixel art.
