Men can stitch


I just had to show you this extraordinary embroidery. Why, you might ask is this particular embroidery so special? Because this is my husbands FIRST piece!! Can you believe that he never did this before? I knew he was observant...and even asked me once if he could try a stitch on one of my pieces but I never thought his first results would be so great. I showed him some pictures recently in the manbroidery group on flickr and I guess they intrigued him because last night he asked me for a cloth and a needle. I showed him a few tricks such as how to tie an quick knot by wrapping the thread around the needle and away he went! Now...can you tell what it is?


Psst..it's a basketball.
