*Each project that you knit/crochet/weave/spin must be at least 20yds/18.3m that you finish and post in the Ravelry FO Thread counts as 1 entry into the giveaways.

Ask the Geeky Girls -
Brittany (StitchByMoonlight) from Hawaii asks:
I’ve finished 2 tiny cross stitch projects in my entire life (one as a young child and one last year) and I have a couple cross stitch and hand embroidery WIPs at the moment. You gals inspired me to pick up my floral practice embroidery project again! What Flosstube channels are your favorites to watch, especially ones that feature embroidery? Do you have any advice for novice threadies?

We mention: 2 Martini Stitcher | Javagirl Stitches | Just Keep Stitchin' | Priscilla & Chelsea (The Real Housewives of Cross Stitch) | Sew Grateful | Stitch ALL the Things | Stitching the High Notes

WE NEED MORE QUESTIONS!!!!
