What is this hobby called?

It's called Cross Stitch.

Why didn't you just ask the person whos facebook you got that from?

>>988424
Too scared. Thanks!

Is it hard to do?

>>988427
No, you get patterns which tells you the colours and how many X's go in each row, and then you just do one set of diagonals so it looks like this //////// then once you reach the end of a row you go back with the other diagonals \\\\\\\ to from your X's then you just go down the design until it's done, probably the easiest form of sewing.

Too scared? You missed out on getting a cross stitch pal.

it's basically painting in ms paint and clicking one pixel at a time.

I'm thinking that's needlepoint, actually. Uses thinker yarn than cross stitch, and doesn't make x's, just /'s. Not hard, just tedious.

>>988428
Back and forth with slashes
No. Not even close

That's how I was taught and it works.You do every X individually?

Ah, so sorry. My apologies anon. It still looks other than cross stitch though. Wikipedia has a fairly in depth discussion on needle work. It seems our anon from across the pond (the one that spelled it "colours") probably has the upper hand in this department. I'll defer to his/her knowledge, other than as I said, the stitches seem too close together, the x's too small, to be cross stitch.

it takes decades of practice to be able to pull off something of that caliber

cross stitching is baby level embroidery.
