I have not heard of one and I am sure you are not a Dummy but are just having one of those days where nothing goes right...Is there something in particular you are needing to find out? If you post your question I will do my best to answer it for you...Plastic Canvas is another of my favorite hobbies...

Thank you for your quick reply. Was shown over the winter how to do plastic canvass, had trouble picking it up because I have a perceptual problem. My friend was trying to teach me a stitch on the slant. Had a very frustrating time because I can't do things on a slant, e.g. Bargello, in needlepoint. I don't see depth.
What would you suggest as a very BASIC plastic canvass project?
There is no need for an immediate answer. I'am an addicted knitter.

Strabismus? (cross eyed), I have the same problem too. Surgery straightened the eye muscles but my brain didn't get the message. Going down steps, even a couple, have to hang on to something and can't catch anything smaller than a beach ball - "keep your eye on the ball" - Yes, but which eye, they both see something different. Haven't tried plastic canvas - guess I'd better stick to knitting.Dabri312 said:

When doing on a slant, I always count over so many and then up or down so many. I don't think there is any other way to do it.Dabri312 said:

Have you tried a sampler yet - 3 inch squares and each is a different stitch. They are then put together around a bigger square. For some reason, that helped me out a lot learning the stitches. But I still made mistakes. People in my area don't seem to have an interest anymore in plastic canvas. So I switched to crocheting and knitting. For instance, crocheting with fun fur around the flip flops.
No I have not tried a sampler. I will probably, go to Michaels, to see if they have a class in Plastic Canvass, or if they can suggest a sampler I can learn on.
My friend started me off, doing a Kleenex box. It was much too difficult, I think for a novice.
Open for any other suggestions.
P.S. This is without a doubt, my favorite craft site.
