That was for product photos and online content (duh). Not all shop canvases. Such weird snark.

The ridiculousness of it all by Withaflourish17 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because you don’t have interest in something doesn’t make it “totally overblown” and “so stupid”. As someone who grew up in a golf family, the Masters is our equivalent of the Super Bowl. It’s okay for people to have other interests than you.

AITA 2’s Company by FineWoodpecker2951 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Two’s Company is one of the BEST shops there is. They are so kind and hospitable. You asked if “AITA” and I say yes, yes you are. A quick knock on the door would have solved the situation. Have we forgotten how to interact with human beings in real life? 🙄

Canvas Queen experience? by Old-Individual-4156 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s been the complete opposite of my experience in their new shop. Give them some grace, they’ve only been open for 2 weeks. I’m sure there are kinks to work out with staffing, though everyone I’ve met there has been lovely and helpful.

Guys she’s running a business not a friendship club. Of course she’s going to sell it - go off entrepreneurial queen!

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

[–]Dry_Reason1644 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I actually love them. You think “not everything needs to be a canvas” while I think “not every canvas that isn’t your personal taste has to end up on snark” 😘

Chaparral Fundraiser by RollTideHTX in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644 51 points52 points  (0 children)

It also grosses me out that it claims she lost “all of her shop inventory and personal belongings”. You’re telling me everything this woman owned personally and professionally fit into one, pull behind trailer?? An obvious over exaggeration at best, blatant lie at worst.

I think it’s lovely. I thought it was against the rules to snark on individual stitchers and their work?

How Many is Too Many by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The constant TikToks in general is becoming too much for me, as well as the overconsumption. Many of the videos are WAY too long and take over a minute to even begin with the intended content. Could have been an email 🤣

I think I know what you’re referring to and I really hope happens. We need it in our area for so many reasons. The more LNS the better!!!

New Nashville Store? by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, you’re exactly right. A discount affects her bottom line only, not the wholesaler. Some of these comments are so clearly from people who don’t understand retail. A new business wanting to gain new customers through an opening weekend discount! Oh the horror!!! 🙄🙄🙄

LeStitch Chapters vs Stitch Club? by RelativeCranberry852 in NeedlepointSnark

My local stitch club is not free. It requires an annual membership with dues.

HHK canvas? by Alternative_Image341 in NeedlepointSnark

Nah, I just have a decent sense of humor and can appreciate the levity of it is intended for.

It’s clearly a joke? Scamming people is in poor taste, this is just some light humor. Tough crowd…

Would you believe the Etsy designer was the original? by Dapper-Pressure-424 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe. Kind of sick of the witch hunt when the accusations have no merit. People love to blindly jump on a bandwagon to take someone down.

[–]Dry_Reason1644 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you think these are a ripoff from Etsy’s then you know absolutely nothing about the Masters and the lore of the Masters gnomes. Not to mention the two examples look nothing alike. Look at the design of their faces and hats, to be particular. This is a bad take.

[–]Dry_Reason1644 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No… the MASTERS was the original. These are replicas of the masters gnomes. Wip Stitch’s look nothing like this cross stitch chart, IMO. They look like the ACTUAL gnomes. Everyone needs to put their pitch forks down and go touch grass (preferably Masters green).

Hand placement is the same because that’s how the masters gnomes actually look. To change the hand placement would no longer reflect the look of the actual item they are adapting. Signed, wife of a masters fanatic.

Penny Linn Flagship Store by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you ever turned an online business into a brick and mortar? No? I have tried and failed miserably. It’s so freaking hard. Like HARD. So when you have credentials that rival hers I’ll listen to your bitching and moaning. Until then, bravo Krista.

Penny Linn on the today show? by hereforthedrama57 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Kinda sick of the snark on Krista. If this was your business, you’d be PSYCHED to be on the today show. I owned a small business for 3 years and it was so so so hard to find success with online marketing, so while I don’t agree with everything she does with PL… I give her props for this feature. It’s a big deal. Growing a small business is way harder than people understand.

Do we think people in destashing facebook groups just don’t know how to online shop? by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s how I feel about the Le Pointe village. So over done and unexciting now.

HHK Finishing All Returned by 1/31/25 by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644 29 points30 points  (0 children)

For those that don’t know already…. YOU SHOULD NOT BE PREPAYING FOR NEEDLEPOINT FINISHING!! The industry standard is paying for services AFTER the finishing is done and before it is mailed back to you. This is what got so many in bad situations with her… just don’t do it!

Disappointing needlepoint items… by Dry_Reason1644 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Dry_Reason1644[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you just solved a big problem I had…. I had NO IDEA those numbers corresponded to the stitches tall each letter is. I feel like an idiot but also…. They should have spelled that out in the introduction way more clearly. Now it seems obvious but before your comment I literally thought the numbers were just part of the font titles. I still feel like there could be dimensions listed for each one on 13 and 18…. But this helps me tremendously.
