People liked to dress me up, being a girl, and then I of course liked to go get muddy, being a tomboy. Anna - Igolochwhat? :) I've seen it referred to as Russian embroidery, so that might relate. Some of the designs I've seen remind me of tiny versions of fluffy shag rugs since you can cut the threads. Looking at the directions I think with the loops & floss it looks like a cross between embroidery and crochet. Hrm. Melissa - I can totally imagine you in bonnets and frills :D Er, me, too.

I love bonnets, probably because I too was addicted to Little House (the books more than the TV show). My grandmother used to make the most girly bonnets for me to wear when I was little, to go with my very fluffy, ruffly dresses (my mom and grandmother loved to dress me up!) There are many pictures of me making silly faces or being very unladylike while donning lacy bonnets and frilly dresses. ;) Bonnets!

Now lots of cross stitch designers are designing for this--it goes much more quickly than cross stitch, but uses way more floss. Anyway, looks like you acquired this stuff at just the right moment in needlework history!
