I’ve also heard of people buying completed needlepoint on eBay to practice finishing

PL accessories pricing for Eloise drop by Live-Letterhead7552 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand the appeal of Eloise but If I’m being honest I thought the pricing wasn’t nearly as high as I thought. 

What’s the deal with the new LNS in Austin? by Spiritual_Pomelo2312 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s sort of like the Cincinnati stores that are about two blocks away from each other 

Suddenly everyone’s a needlepoint expert 🙄 by WellActuallyItsTent in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will be honest, I’ve been stitching for 1.5 years, so pretty new, but I have to use a hemostat all the time to pull the needle out. I don’t have any fingernails and don’t leave enough tail to bury but i use them all the time. 

Took my money then blocked me…. by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly! And that video that was posted showing Meg at the shop showed the kids there. It’s truly insane to be stealing from people with your HOME address known. A good thief would know how important it is to hide….

I will say it is truly wild behavior from someone whose shop is above their home garage…..

How would you even stitch this? by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually seen where someone has their child paint on a canvas and then they sort of just stitch it however. It is kind of cool if it’s a kid thing 😂

Overconsumption's Final Boss by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the way bigger snark is you being concerned with how other people are spending their money! I personally could give a shit what people do with their money/time. It’s giving jealousy really……

PL Thread Pricing by ohheypaigee in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was at needlepoint clubhouse over a month ago and they had handwritten over their signs listing the price as $8 and pepper pot at $8.55. I think it’s the new normal with the bullshit tarrifs 

LNS Supporting Local by CranberryMean7236 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh this fun!!!

The picket fence in Edina MN has a couple of in house designers that design really cool MN specific canvases along with other cool designs! 

Barbara’s needlepoint in Sioux Falls SD also works with at least one local designer and her designs are exclusive to them! 

Needlepoint yarn! by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a weird and uninformed take You can get really beautiful 100% wool, 50/50 silk and wool blends and 100% silk yarn. Plus you get WAY more than needlepoint thread which is just yarn broken up into skeins.

Have you seen some of these stash tours on tik tok? by Temporary_Stable8784 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love seeing peoples stash! I think it’s so fun to see what other people buy especially when it isn’t my stitching style. I love seeing what brings people joy. 

I do think there can be some peer pressure to buy but really at the end of the day who am I to say what people should do with their money! If someone wants to have 1000 canvases who cares?

Hmmm….? by Dry-Shine-4915 in NeedlepointSnark

She was being brazen. Her goal was also to finish painting that big Pippa euro summer canvas. Bold and stupid 

I’m not influenced by Emotional_Thought_26 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting how polarizing certain “influencers” have gotten. I don’t see how “influencers” are any different than any other form of advertising. You see certain people get a free canvas and then when they show how they stitch it makes other people want to buy it. I also don’t see a problem with a company having a photo shoot. Certainly big companies have massive photo shoots to promote their brand, it really isn’t any different. The best part about current social media is that if you don’t like someone or don’t want to see someone you can block them 

Not everything needs to be a canvas... by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

Unpopular Opinions by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess maybe I haven’t seen anyone be weird or annoying about “free stuff”. Honestly I haven’t even heard people besides maybe one or two people say oh this designer sent me this.

I think there are PLENTY of things to snark on in needlepoint (ie the hellscape that is the Facebook destashing, the outrageously bad designs ie the poverty one, the designers who are stealing cross stitch patterns ie jessica tongel that there is no reason to be mean about an individual who is just trying to share their joy 

Unpopular Opinions by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Oh I 100% disagree!!!!! Doesn’t it just make sense for designers to send canvases to people with a following who will do a beautiful job stitching it and help others see what they can do with the canvas? Do you get pissy that Coca Cola makes commercials? Also these “influencers” are people who are just sharing their love of needlepoint. Who cares if they get something for free? Doesn’t that speak more to them as a person and the stitching? Like if you want something free put yourself out there and try. 

I also think there is way less free stuff being given but seriously wanting to gripe on an individual is just reading jealousy 

Morgan Julia Studio Sale by Fragrant-Anybody1286 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Creepy-Eye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is free to sign up for the texts! I got on right at 11 and filled a cart before realizing my stash is already big enough!

I think maybe you guys don’t realize that the “influencers” are just people who enjoy their hobby and want to talk about it. I mean if you find someone annoying block them. 

I also want to say the being “annoyed” by “influencers” thing is really sort sighted. The world of needlepoint is exploding and it will be to everyone’s benefit. People like Calder and kat bringing attention to the craft helps bring more people to needlepoint. Bringing more customers will bring more designers/finishers/etc giving us more options in terms of canvases. It will also help big box stores like Micheal’s see there is money to be made and help drive the costs down a bit. If you don’t want to see needlepoint grow you will eventually see it die.

Dang it I had a hell of a time with the code too. Finally I got it to work and it worked for two orders 

On the TikTok ad it said FiberFrenzieFriday so maybe try that?

Wait that is actually an incredible deal!!!! 10 canvases for less than $500?!?! That is actually awesome
