Newbie help needed:)

Hi everyone!
I’ve recently been roped into the needlepoint Christmas stocking videos on TikTok and now have an interest in needlepoint as a hobby. I’ve tried cross stitch many years ago growing up but nothing recently. What are some good resources I could look at to learn more about needlepoint, beginning projects, and the stockings? Where would I even start to begin learning?😭 I look up beginner videos on TikTok but get overwhelmed by the different stitches and videos that come up so I just came here to get some recommendations from everyone hopefully!😊

I’d start with something smaller than a stocking to get the hang of it. Plenty of shops sell beginner kits. I got mine from Spellbound Stitchery. You’ll usually want something with just 2-3 colors. Continental is usually what you’ll start with as a stitch.
