Embroidery, spinning, crochet… If you asked me what my favourite craft was, I’m afraid I’d have to answer with a list. A continually growing list, as I love nothing more than learning and challenging myself with something new.

The Internet is an absolutely fantastic resource for crafters. No longer do you have to learn to crochet at your grandmother’s knee, but you can study with Youtube. Brazillian embroidery? There will be an online course for it somewhere. However, although there are some great resources out there, many techniques are still relatively obscure and it’s always interesting to see different perspectives on the same craft. I hope my own learning experiences, as well as reviews and tutorials, can be beneficial for you as well.

I hope you enjoy having the chance to see what studying with the Royal School of Needlework is like and some of my experimental failures. I look forward to meeting you all in the comments or by email at astitchornine@gmail.com.
