[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 479418, member: 6705"] Those plastic yarn needles are worse than useless - even on the big plastic canvas I've broken them trying to force them through. I make my own cross stitch patterns by creating a design on graph paper. Honestly, the last "packaged" one I did, for my Mom about 11-12 years ago, almost broke my brain. I like 14-count - no bigger, no smaller. I can't see the smaller ones. Right now I'm working on crocheting an afghan. It's solid royal purple, matches my bedroom (curtains are royal, walls lavender). husband knows I'm making it, but it's a gift for US. I can't knit, but I [I]can[/I] crochet, cross-stitch, plastic canvas, craft foam flowers, painted sweatshirts... Sew if I need to. I love this stuff. A really good idea for younger kids is what we used to make in grade school, called an "ojo de dios" or "god's eye". 2 toothpicks and embroidery floss or popsicle sticks and yarn.
