Craft for Food

I would really like to learn a craft like needlepoint or cross stitch?

How long would it take to learn? Can I learn from a book or the internet? Is it difficult to learn? where is the best place to find patterns?

   I learned cross-stitch in under 1 hour, you can find patterns for this for free on the internet or you can buy books.

   You can buy single-pattern sets which contain the needles, the embroidery thread, the pattern, the fabric and often also have a tutorial leaflet included. This is a great way to start.

   Tutorials are available on Youtube.

   I also recently taught myself crochet through a free pattern on the internet.

   Super easy!
   Simply buy a kit at your local craft store. It will contain the floss, needle, pattern and instructions. Start with something small. Cross Stitch kits can be as small as a Christmas tree ornament, and often ones that size come with a frame in the kit.

   Once you master the stitches, you will know if you like doing it or not, and can move up to bigger patterns.

   This would probably be a great time to find some fantastic % off sales on Christmas designs.

   I have a free email course on needlepoint, Right from the Beginning, that has been taken by almost 1200 people.

   With it you’ll learn about the different types of needlepoint projects, needlepoint tools, basic stitches, some decorative stitches, Bargello needlepoint, and starting your first painted canvas.

   There are 8 lessons, coming one week apart.

   You can sign up here: http://www.aboutneedlepoint.com/beginnerneedlepointecourse.html

   If you want something faster and somewhat less in-depth, but not free, I am currently offering a beginner’s project, Rainbow Sherbet, through Stitcher’s Village. The project is downloaded in one PDF so you can work at your own pace. It’s $30.

   You can sign up for that here: http://stitchersvillage.org/cgi-bin/class_detail.pl?JPCOD01-

   My blog, Nuts about Needlepoint, has lots of additional free projects & information for beginners. It’s at: http://www.nuts-about-needlepoint.com.

   Keep Stitching,
   Janet
