anybody else do cross stitch or detailed crafts

Post Reply New Topic

i love computer graphics but also like to work with my hands cross stitch ive been doin for quite a while i also like playin with any kind of detail oriented crafts i paint sometimes or draw too

what ever im in the mood for i love being creative in artistic ways

I do crewel embroidery. Several other crafts as well, but embroidery is the one I return to most often.

i used to crochet... now i do origami. I paint sometimes. i prefer to paint wood or clay over paper.
Mostly i do origami. I do many smaller crafts.

I used to love crosstitch but then life got busier and I kinda got away from it. I really should get back to that though - thanks for the reminder.

I enjoy cross-stitch also. Very theraputic!

if anyone wants to talk more cross stitch or other artistic stuff lets talk thru PM

quilting.

But I think of it as two separate processes: design and construction. I think I like the design phase best because it involves playing with patterns of color and shape. The construction phase is more meditative, keeping my hands busy while my subconscious wanders.

I realize that I am a boy but I as I just had a mom I did some of the stuff like when I was in elementry school but I never had enough hand eye coordination to do detailed stuff (in those lil holes) so I just did cross stitch.

I knit and crochet.

I enjoy doing counted cross stitch and have completed a couple so far I just started a little over a year ago actually I restarted I did cross stitch a long time ago.
I like doing those latch rug kits but I don't know what to do with it after I complete one I think they would look tacty on a wall or something. I just throw them in the craft box until they get I my way then I pitch them out.
In addition to the above I like to carve figurines out of wood. I would love to be able to draw but I can not even manage a straight line.
I think that it is unusual for a guy to enjoy cross stitch but I find following the patterns relaxing.

I do cross stitch occasionally...I've also made a couple quilts (love different types of fabric).

I love to crochet...afghans, doilies I'll never use , etc.

I'd love to learn to do cross stitch, patterns, sew, cut, do collages.

To all of you: Did you learn it by yourself?

Cross stitch is easy buy a simple kit for your first one and go from there.
The premade kits have everything that you need to complete that pattern the needles the thread and instructions. If you need help just pm me I will try to help.

Sorry, I don't.

Recently I saw some cool ones, they had cats, skulls, and even guitars, I remember having a bookmark...

they're iron on, and look cool

...but I'm male, so, I don't know what will my family think about learning this...

Go for it!!

Remember Rosey Grier? I was little when they used to interview him and sometimes show his needlepoint on occasion...I always thought it was cool.
