I found that after i started i had everyone hooked on it as well. Its very addictive and once you start it really is hard to take the stitch off because you have been working on it for so long. :-) I thaught this was a great way to wast time in those boring hours of school.

Apparently my dad used to do tomboy stitch when he was a boy.
