Needlepoint for Men

If you are as old as me and from the US, you might remember Rosey Grier, a professional football player who was also known for doing needlepoint. He even published a book in 1973 called Rosey Grier’s Needlepoint for Men.  This book used is available from amazon.com for $70.00 or new for $233.00 (USD).

 

Ted is always interested in what I am stitching, but he is not interested in doing any stitching himself. The only “Needlepoint for Men” in our house would be if I was stitching something for him.

Anyway, here is the progress I’ve made on the dragon’s wing. Each patch/pattern has several steps and layers, giving it dimension.
