Is there a website somewhere that will show me the basics (in one syllable words) of needlepoint? I've found the cutest small stockings that I want to do as a Christmas gift for my Host when I stay in England. It's disgustingly sweet, but one says "London" with an outline of Big Ben, a Union Jack and ... hhmm.. something else, the other one says "Kansas City" with an outline of the most recognized building on the Plaza, with Christmas lights, a horse drawn buggy and lots of snow. What makes them so silly-sweet is that because they face each other, I can actually assemble them as one ornament. So one side will have the largest English city near her, and the other the largest American city near me. Argghh... can't you just feel the sugar dripping? LOL
Anyway, any hints, suggestions, directions you can point me towards will make me very grateful. And I promise, I'm not normally this sappy... Oh, and they are both on 18 count .. canvas?, so I'm wondering if I can use floss instead of yarn?
Thank you so much for being here! Tegan
