Needlework is a broad term for the handicrafts of decorative sewing and textile arts. Anything that uses a needle for construction can be called needlework.

Q. my friend's son just loves to knit, & all kinds of needlework, and his father ridicules him all the time,verbal abuse and everything, a couple of times even thrashed all those little 'projects' his son was working on ! he just can't see him doing it... Asked by abbie15 - Sun May 13 21:11:35 2007 - - 20 Answers - 0 Comments A. Needlework and knitting shows patience and creativity. It might be considered an unusual hobby for a boy, but my grandfather used to knit and he was an amazing man. Before ridiculing his son, the man should think about all the other worse things he could be doing.
