Well, I'm getting back into cross stitching. It's been a long, lnog, long, LONG, (did I mention long?) time since I've done it. Thankfully though, it's not a skill you easily forget. So, does anyone else cross stitch?

Celestyal I want so desperatly to learn. crying Is it hard??? The only hard part is counting stitches, but you can avoid that with certain patterns that are printed right onto the canvas. So no, it's very easy, and very relaxing. ^^ @Egga: rofl

Now, do you do needlepointing or cross stitching? Because they are two different crafts. Needlepointing only makes slashes, while cross stitching makes little X's.

I cross stitch a lot, considering everything else I try to do.
My most recent endevour was to make a wedding present for my husband's mother...She was getting married to the man she has been living with for 12 years...I wanted to do something personal.
I like to cross stitch, but it hurts the hands and the eyes sometimes.

I absolutely love cross stitching... I probably couldn't live without it. :3 I have been stitching for.. 10 years? Maybe more, I really don't know anymore. whee
I always have to have two or three projects going on at the same time. But sadly, since university is taking so much time right now, I can't stitch as much as I would want. crying

I once started doing one, but it was so confusing that I gave up. I think I'll have another go at it this winter...
EDIT: NOW i remember why I gave up...i wasn't getting around to doing my homework because i couldn't stop......
