A Hobby within a Hobby...

As a hobby, cross-stitching really takes time and patience.
You have to count the threads on a piece of evenweave fabric (such as linen or the so called AIDA cloth) in each direction so that the stitches are of uniform size and appearance. If making with a patterned design counting is very crucial. You really have to have a keen eye and dexterity.

In relation to Ham Radio, I am having fun stitching while listening to DXing stations and  DU/DX nets. It is like doing two(2) hobbies at the same time. And so QSX which in Q-codes means "Listening" became "Listening while X-stitching..." to me.
