Cross-stitching is usually associated with traditional handiwork and cozy sentiments, but there's a growing movement within the stitching community towards subversive designs and messages. It's a fun juxtaposition, and it's one of my favorite and most relaxing hobbies. I love that my finished pieces make great gifts, and almost anyone is happy to receive a funny, handmade gift of a cross stitch design. Note: this list contains cash back and affiliate links.
