Cross stitch is my main hobby then knitting. But I've tried card making, encaustic art, stamping latch hook rug making and I'm sure there's something else!

I've done cross-stitch for many years as well as knitting, I'm kind of learning to crochet but don't appear to have much natural talent for it!

I knit and embroider (machine and by hand). I also do a fair bit of beadwork. I used to do loads of cross stitch, though not so much of late. I'd really like to get back into pottery too.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I do crochet too, though I'm not very good at it at the moment.

I cross stitch, and I like blackwork too. I want to learn to crochet, as it seems to pair well with knitting, and I love Cross stitch, but knitting is my love at the moment.

I like blackwork too. I love the intricacies of the designs. There's an excellent resource here, which has some information about blackwork on Elizabethan costume, as well as more general info about the patterns,
