X Marks The Spot

Thursday August 7, 2008

Recently the About.com Guide to Cross-Stitch fielded a query from a reader about cross-stitch magazines in Italy. It turns out that punto croce is popular in Italy and is represented online by such publications as Mani di Fata and Penelope.

Wondering what cross-stitch is? "Il punto croce è una tecnica di ricamo su tela, con ago a punta arrotondata e cruna lunga, basata sull'intreccio di fili colorati (generalmente di cotone, lana, lino o viscosa) in modo da formare una X."
