Hello friends!

I will be attempting to teach my boyfriend to cross stitch shortly,
yay! One thing I know well after, well, a few years on this old Earth,
is that men's brains work a "tad" differently than women's do, so I
thought I'd ask if there was anything I should watch out for? Any
concepts that had to be explained differently, phrasing I should be
aware of to use or avoid, etc etc?

I am really looking forward to this that boy sure does need to get
the heck away from the computer a little more! (before you start the
"pot to kettle" jokes, he works IT and programs for fun!) plus, you
know, if he starts up then I HAVE to increase my stash to accomodate
him, right? LOLOL

I am male, and I do cross sttich. I have no idea whether you know
anything about me. Let me just note a couple of things, and if I can help
any more, we can talk on rctn, or you can email me.

The thing I enjoy most about cross stiching is the challenge of keeping my
backs as neat as I can. I have tried to get ladies interested in this,
and have yet to find anyone who is interested.

Most patterns are designed for lady's taste. If you want to see my
"maidens", please visit www.ncf.ca/~bf906. Dont be offended. Jim.

Hi Jim

I well remember your maidens, although I'm still in therapy over the
inferiority complex your backs gave me all those years ago P (j/
k...sorta) My backs are, well, neat enough. I just try not to show
them to anyone anymore LOL.

I guess I'll just go about teaching him the way I would want to be
taught, and if I run into any sticky issues I'll see if you can help
clarify them

Thanks for answering me!

i suggest the following
if he is into sports or movies, find an easy easy outlined chart for
him to start.
if you get a kit, get one will the minimal number of threads, other
wise, he may lose intrest

go to http://www.pixelgasm-forum.com/viewforum.php?f=14 this is a
board for those interested in stitching gaming and computer graphics,
animation characters (and much more). eg pac man, mario bros etc.
