I am always drawn to a good crewel.  Crewel embroidery is a surface stitch, usually with wool yarns on a hearty base material, like cotton or sturdy linen.  The needlework technique is at least a thousand years old.  And, it rocks my socks off.

Hope you have an upcoming project full of Crewel Intentions!  (Yikes, these puns are dorky.)
