I like to work on a few different projects at the same time...a little knitting, a little crocheting, a little cross stitching, etc. <BR/>I have been working on a cross stitched blanket for a few years now...it's one of those that you cross stitch all these squares then attach them when you are done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013253.post-1145217556164824262006-04-16T15:59:00.000-04:002006-04-16T15:59:00.000-04:00I tried once (about 8 years ago!) to undertake a m...I tried once (about 8 years ago!) to undertake a microscopic piece of cross-stitch. It was mind-numbingly difficult for me and I simply could not keep track of all the colors involved. (Clearly there will be no fair isle knitting in my future). I made it 95% of the way through the cross stitch teddy bear...and then quit when I realized I had to go over the whole thing with an outline thread. Knitting on the other hand, seems to go much quicker for me and I can actually complete something!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013253.post-1145212984702809192006-04-16T14:43:00.000-04:002006-04-16T14:43:00.000-04:00Hey, this is a great comparison.

It's really interesting the idea of knitting being 3 dimensional. That's probably why I find it so much more difficult, as I don't think like that.kimanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631078429676761765noreply@blogger.com
