What are you all up to today? - part 3

Has anyone tried cross stitch?

Yes both counted and stamped.

Hey Gollky, enjoy your trip

Socks are all I knit nowadays. 

If using needles I use 5. Splitting the stitches across 4 holding needles makes turning the heel easier. For plain socks I use a circular needle and the magic loop method. 

Pity you dontbluve closer! I may say I'm not bothered about mastering trying but I am!!!!  I learn much better by demonstration

I used to do cross stitch when away in the van but my eyesight can't cope with it anymore.  I still have a half finished piece in a cupboard somewhere.

OK as a pastime but very limited use. Tapestry similar. Yes its something to occupy my hands whilst my mind drifts or listens to TV/radio that caused me to look out knitting again; not brilliant at anything complicated but enjoy the challenge if a simple pattern and the satisfaction of accomplishments. However I actually want something as an end product. Knitted dishcloth anyone??? 

My Mum used to knit all her own dishcloths when I was a child.
