I have found that listening to Audiobooks while cross stitching is very relaxing. It is much easier to stitch while listening to a book than watching tv. I still watch tv occasionally, but if I am working on something complicated, there is much less frogging involved with an audiobook.
I thought I would start keeping track of all the books I have been listening to this year. I buy all my books at audible.com
