So sweet, it sits on my bedside table along with lots of other special gifts from my sweethearts

Aw that is really nice!!

So I started working on a cross stitch about a month ago... and I haven't touched it in over 2 weeks.

I really need to start working on it again...

Just thought I'd start this up again to ask - does anyone also do Needlepoint? I'm going to have some surgery and I thought I'd stock up a couple projects to work on! I ordered a couple really pretty needlepoint things, plus I've got about 10 UFOs in cross stitch! So, is needlepoint harder, easier, the same? Any experiences?

I've never done any needle point. What is the difference anyway?

Needlepoint (I think) is done on a canvas-like cloth (think burlap-ish) - larger holes. You only do 1/2 of what a normal cross stitch, and you use yarn instead of thread. You probably had a grandma with a needlepoint chair at some point, LOL.
