  4. Thanks for the links - lovely to find someone who likes many of the same crafts as I do! These days I mostly crochet, but I also do cross stitch, needlepoint and plastic canvas (I have a thing about boxes). However, I can never quite follow charts for plastic canvas - something to do with the differences between cross stitch charts and plastic canvas, so I usually end up 'improvising'!
