After pretty close to three years of doing no cross stitch at all, I picked up the stranded cottons last night... It's amazing what having your own baby on the way does for motivation!

This afternoon I went out to get a few more threads (was missing a few shades I needed), and decided to browse around a bit...

Doesn't anyone sell cross stitch charts any more?

I hate working from a kit as I've worked from charts for so long and I've got a huge collection of stranded cottons (a completely new project usually means I've only got to buy around half a dozen new skeins at most)... but nobody seems to have charts any more! It was all kits from what I could see this afternoon.

I will admit that it was just spotlight and lincraft this afternoon, but spotlight used to be quite good years ago, now - nothing. Hell, I don't even remember where the local embroidery shops might actually be... but is cross stitch so seriously out of fashion that charts are hard to come by now?

Where do you buy/find yours?
