I actually used to stitch one X at a time, rather than //// then \\\\, until someone told me I was doing it wrong. (It's curious that my mother didn't correct me, but now that I think of it, cross-stitch is one of the few fabric arts she didn't do or did very seldom.)
I would love to see a 201 discussion. Especially on using beads. I have seen gorgeous-looking kits but am not sure I am up to something as fiddly as beads. (I used to do a little bead-weaving and then regular old beading on tiger-tail, but my coordination is even worse now than it used to be.)
(Also, am longing to do bookmarks, but it's going to be hard to eke out time for even that until December, the way this month has been going. But, bookmarks! :D )
