Shockingly enough, I cross-stitch. I'm not as good as my mother or my aunt, but I get by. I've been doing it on and off for a few years now, more than I'll actually admit to, but I've never really progressed beyond the intermediate stage.
I've been stitching a lot more lately, and I've found some patterns online that are amazing. Carrie Luhmann Pieniozek maintains a site, Free Patterns Online, that offers a nice variety of free and relatively simple-to-use cross-stitch patterns. I've printed a lot of hers out, and are using them this Christmas.
For now, though, I'm sharing some of the projects I've actually finished stitching.
