Cross-Stitch
I love to cross-stitch and embroider things. The best thing is that you can do this on the subway. Predominantly, I do counted cross-stitch but I also know needlepoint, crewel, and other embroidery stitches. This is a collection of links that are useful for those who like to play with needles and thread.
