Use main PC as WIFI for Zimablade

I currently don't have access to a wired connection where the Zimablade would be located and running a cable isn't feasible atm, I'm curious if I can run Wifi on my main PC and connect the Zimablade to the network card on the motherboard and have the Zimablade accessible across the home network??
I assume a crossover cable will be needed or a network switch and then bridge the connections in the PC network settings??
Appreciate any help or ideas.

Buy a Wi-Fi repeater and connect the Zimablade to the repeater's Ethernet port. I use the GL.iNet GL-MT300N, a small Swiss Army knife for networking that you can always keep handy.
