Yay! Well said Mr.X Stitch. I work at a needle shop here in the US. I see women come in all the time with newbie questions... I love to see them return with their first proud piece for impromptu 'show & tell'....but nothing makes me more happy than when a man gets into stitching. Male stitchers are rare, but typically have more patience and creativity in their pieces of needle work. It's a changing world in the embroidery circles. and it's only going to get more exciting in the future. (I hope more people find how relaxing and exciting this hobby can be. Don't be afraid to ask questions at your local needlework shop).
This is fab! Such a refreshing contemporary way to look at stitching! Both my husband and I have recently taken up stitching and started making our own patterns, and we're having a great time with it. We'll be subscribing to the new X Stitch magazine too! Kay xx
Someone dedicated to doing cross stitch has solid proof that they possess the patience to repeatedly stab something tens of thousands of times. Don't "cross" them.
Why is this interesting when told by a guy but if a woman told this story no one would show up? Women have been getting very artistic with their various crafts and no one pays sh1t for them making it a very poorly supported art. But, a bunch of guys do it and now it's interesting?

You said it all....You rock man!!! It's so refreshing to find a man expresses so well how we feel about our craft.
This was so inspirational. I have been struggling to stay motivated with my cross stitching for a few years now, so this was very timely!
Brilliant ideas popping in my head now thank you xxx

Or maybe, it’s a tool for stopping the smoking habit. Worked for me.
cross stitch is the hardest thing ive done. not relaxing. kidding but the instructions on three kits were difficult to understand.
