However, my knitting projects take a back seat to my cross stitch.

aephi, I'm with you!
I absolutely LOVE cross stitch! Unfortunately, I haven't done any needlework in a few years, and I need to get back to it. I have several unfinished cross stitch projects that I was just looking at. I learned to knit and crochet when I was about 8 years old, and while I have the basics, I still haven't actually put together anything. What I really, really want to do is knit a sweater (cable stitch and all!). Any particular books that make it easy? Do you all have a favorite type of yarn that you like to use?
You ladies aren't playing fair. . . you're gonna make me go out this weekend and get new knitting needles and yarn. . .
