Whether you're a first-time stitcher or just haven't picked up your needle in a while, starting a new needlepoint project can seem a bit daunting. But don't let that deter you: Needlepointing is incredibly easy—not to mention stress-relieving—once you've gotten the hang of one or two basic stitches. (Think of it as painting by numbers, but with thread!) If you're not sure where to start, your best bet is to grab a needlepoint kit that includes a painted canvas, a needle and threads, which will take the guesswork out of choosing materials yourself. And lest you worry that your only options will be either a puppy or an angel, we've rounded up some of our favorite chic and cheeky kits that are more grandmillennial than grandma.
