Doing needlepoint, and candlewicking is really my favorite because of the different stitches and textures it involves, is relaxing and fun for me. Plus, they make nice gifts as you can frame them or turn them into small pillows or pillowcases. I recently started doing this again, now that my son is old enough not to be overly interested in the threads I have to lay out. You can do this when watching TV, too, as long as you have enough light! I’ve tried cross-stitching but I don’t think it’s as fun because it’s the same stitch used throughout (I get bored easily!).
