Cross stitch, a hobby of the aristocrats of the Middle Ages, is now rapidly gaining popularity. To dispel the most common myths about cross stitch, we wrote this article.
Often when cross stitch is mentioned, skepticism appears. Usually this hobby is considered at least strange and useless, not knowing about its benefits.
Without going into medical terms- that’s not what our article is about, - let’s talk about the main health benefits - meditative ones. Similar movements of the same type over a sufficient amount of time is the famous meditation. A simple but very accurate explanation.
It turns out to be a hobby plus meditation, an excellent combination. That is, a person engaged in cross stitch will at least be much less nervous and will calm his nervous system without any pills or potions. Husbands, you want your wives to become gentle and kind?
Now to the main educational lesson - the most common myths about cross stitch:
The first myth about cross stitch is that it is an exclusively female activity.
You will be surprised, but in Asia, cross stitch is a purely male activity. We cannot understand the mysterious east, but the ratio of women/men in terms of numbers is growing in favor of the latter.
Okay, men. For children of both sexes, such a hobby develops fine motor skills, helps eliminate hyperactivity and learn concentration and concentration.
By the way, funny statistics (we still can’t calm down about men). One of the most common professions for men who decide to cross their careers in retirement is military, that’s right.
The second myth about cross stitch - it's easy
We will not claim that in terms of complexity it is on the same level as programming or higher mathematics. However, it is worth putting in no less effort and care. Believe me personal experience Watching your wife embroider a cross for many hours is not an easy hobby.
In addition, as in any business, there are different gradations of complexity. There are several types of particularly sophisticated stitches that are not so easy to master. There is banal neatness, correctness and beauty. This is why the same picture will look like two different people differently.
The third myth: cross stitch is an expensive hobby
Of course, the cost of thread for one painting is more expensive than a pack of salt. But due to the current prevalence of this hobby, the price of a starter kit will be approximately the cost of two or three movie tickets.
Considering that a painting takes an average of a month or two to be embroidered, this is quite bearable, isn’t it?! In addition, your home will be decorated with a picture embroidered by your loved one, what could be better?
The fourth myth: cross stitch is a boring activity.
Well, yes, in terms of “action” it’s inferior to Hollywood action films, of course. In fact, while embroidering, you can put your thoughts in order and think about some kind of decision.
Or embroider under the TV if the silence oppresses you. Well, in general, the attentiveness required when embroidering is unlikely to give you a reason to be bored!
Fifth myth - only flowers and still lifes are cross-stitched
In fact, theoretically, you can embroider anything. Yes, and practically the same. There are special services on the Internet that allow you to get a diagram from any photo. So you can embroider almost anything - from a car to a photograph of your married couple.
This is how it is not obvious - cross stitch.

Review of literature sourcesand Internet resources.
Our favorite cross stitch (Appendix 2) has its own history. There is no exact information about where and when embroidery appeared. There are almost no original embroideries dating back to the 12th century. But images of clothing and interior items indicate that embroidery appeared much earlier. IN different countries the patterns varied in style and colors used. The embroidery reflected the national color and own vision of the beauty of each people. IN Western Europe Counted embroidery became especially popular in the 16th century. At that time, it consisted mainly of biblical stories and texts, combining various execution techniques. By the end of the 18th century, the classic cross stitch began to predominate on embroidery patterns. And the themes of embroidery have become more diverse. In the East, embroidery was traditionally used to decorate household utensils - carpets, capes, pack bags. In Russia, embroidery has always been very symbolic. Some patterns were born in ancient times and bear the imprint of pagan symbolism. Archaeological finds indicate that embroidery was being done in Rus' back in the 10th century. Gradually embroidery takes on everythingwider distribution in the decoration of costumes and household items.. (http://ru.wikipedia.org)
Selecting an embroidery option
It was difficult for me to choose a design from different options. I thought well... I really like the cartoon “Smeshariki”, so I decided to embroider the heroine of this cartoon - Nyusha (Appendix 1).

Annex 1
Texts for listening.
Now you’re listening to two short stories, what people think about Halloween. Be attentive and find out the answer to the questions: Who likes Halloween? Who thinks that Halloween is a stupid holiday? Who arranges the parties on Halloween? In what country is Halloween less popular?
- Hi! I'm Kate. I like Halloween. I usually dress up as a witch or a ghost. My friends and I arrange Halloween parties. We decorate the room with bats, cats, ghosts and pumpkins. All guests come in costumes. It's a rule. We have a wonderful time.
- Hello. My name is Monika Braun. I'm from Germany. This holiday is not so popular in my country. I don't like it at all. I think it’s so silly to dress up as witches, bats, cats and so on. I don't understand them. But my children like this holiday very much and visit Halloween parties with pleasure.
IN last years There has been a surge of interest in handicrafts in different countries.
Nature takes its toll, and women again want to feel like women - weak and defenseless. They cross-stitch, weave beadwork, felt beads and clothes from wool, do patchwork and quilting. Perhaps this is a kind of “subconscious psychotherapy” 
In the bustle of city life, women activate their rational left hemisphere logical thinking, leaving virtually no room for creativity. When doing needlework, a right-hemisphere process is launched, illogical, spontaneous - creative.
And needlework can also be called the most real psychotechnics, thanks to which we restore the ancestral connection, and therefore it is very correct to teach embroidery and sewing skills to girls from the very beginning. early age. Often women's psychotherapy contains a return to origins; it is an attempt to reconstruct the family line, the energy flow that was given to us from our mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers.
Many cases are conventionally divided into male and female
There is a stereotypical idea that a real man should be able to handle a hammer, and also plan, saw and fix all sorts of problems around the house. In turn, we a priori endow representatives of the fairer sex with the ability to cook, sew, knit...
The only thing is that modern people less and less are engaged in purely masculine and purely women's affairs. Many people in offices press the computer keys in the same way, and at home they also press the buttons, only on the buttons of the washing machine, microwave oven, and television remote control. Does such universality of occupations affect the human essence? Scientists are sure that it affects, and how!
And already using the example of the weaker sex, they have proven that refusal of manual labor makes women less feminine, and this process occurs at the hormonal level. 
Until recently, the following fact appeared as a hypothesis: sex hormones have a strong influence on the choice of profession in women.
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania decided to test this version and organized a study that examined the professional preferences of women with different levels of hormones. Thus, girls with congenital hyperplasia, in which the normal production of “female” cortisol in the adrenal glands is disrupted and excessive release of androgens (male sex hormones) occurs, had more “male” interests.
They chose professions in the field of technology, engineering, and mathematics. 
Scientists believe that there is an inverse relationship: just as hormones influence women’s choice of occupation, activities can also affect hormone levels.
If a woman is forced to engage in heavy physical labor, she may lose her femininity over time, acquiring rough physical features.
Accordingly, representatives of the weaker sex who are interested in purely feminine activities - knitting, sewing, embroidering, for example, with a cross - are more feminine and have a balanced character.
This is how it is regulated at the hormonal level. By making small movements with their hands, for example, during embroidery, women thereby involuntarily improve the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary system, which controls the production of luteinizing hormone (it stimulates the secretion of estrogen by the ovaries), follicle-stimulating hormone (the functioning of the reproductive system depends on it), prolactin (affects the functioning of the mammary glands) and other important hormones. 
“Handicraft, which is carried out with movements that activate fine motor skills, evens out the hormonal levels in the body,” explains Irina Kratynskaya, chief physician of one of the capital’s medical centers. - Why, for example, do children need to develop fine motor skills so that they speak better? This is how brain connections are established. About the same thing happens with needlework. In general, the hypothalamic-pituitary system regulates itself - a decrease in the level of some hormones leads to an increase in others.
However, you can help this process with your own hands - take a needle and thread, and stitch by stitch...” 
When we do this or that type of needlework, we affect the nerve endings of our hands and this, of course, cannot but affect us. So what happens to us when we sew, knit, embroider?

Since ancient times, the Slavs and other peoples of the world have made most household items with their own hands. Women sowed, harvested and processed flax and hemp.
