    Sorry I prefer Union myself :p and trying to crochet, my semi numb hand can just about manage it!

    Oh well, maybe you'll see the light at some point ;) :rotfl:

    I've never tried to crochet, looks way too difficult for me!

    Question for those who have the new issue of WOXS (177)

    On page 75 there is an article about charity stitching but does anyone recognise the ballerina picture on that page? Trying to get hold of the kit/chart for that.

    DD loves dancers and is about to start ballet so I really want to stitch that one, have googled loads of ballerina pics but no luck so far :(

    Trying to avoid work and dh - he is really annoying me atm just by being there (luckily he is at work at 4pm till 10pm so I can avoid him till tomorrow -yay). House is a ponky old mess and have a pile of schoolwork to do but rugby is on radio at 3 so going to stitch while I listen to it and do work later (honest). Am going to search for camera lead as well cos fed up not being able to post progress.

    It looks a little bit like this one, but the ballerina has a longer skirt: http://www.sewinspiring.co.uk/acatalog/ballet_cross_stitch_kits.html
