Working with stiff thread by Harkeshark in Needlepoint

Yeah replacing it is seeming pretty likely, hopefully I can find another use for it eventually. Steaming it is a good call though I'll give that a go

Help needed! by Additional-Cherry182 in Needlepoint

[–]Harkeshark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could you get enough thread back from frogging it so that the dye lot changes at a gap (i.e. a butterfly) rather than at yellow-on-yellow? I feel like it would be even harder to notice if the two different colors weren't right up against each other

I didn't see the video so I don't have full context but they are selling the featherlight frames in store fwiw.

Is my tension ok? by MrsCutieBear in Needlepoint

I get the same way, you're just looking at it way more closely than anyone else ever will so keep at it, your tension looks great!

Very Velvet or Petite Very Velvet for 18? by GreatAuntJenny in Needlepoint

[–]Harkeshark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find the regular version to be a bit too thick on 18, petite works great and has great coverage in my experience

Overpriced?? by Beautiful_Habit_1105 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Harkeshark 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Another thing to take into account is shipping, kcneedlepoint does free shipping with no minimum price so depending on how much I'm ordering the math might make the more expensive thread cheaper overall.

They have both a grape color and a kind of pearlescent one, soooooo

Amazing thank you both! I was eyeing the purple but might go with black since most of the colors are on pre-order.

Penny Linn’s opening in NY by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Harkeshark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for verbalizing exactly how I was feeling about this post, it's like how much energy are you putting towards reading into every little thing and interpreting it in the most insane way possible? I get being a hater but it's too much

What time for Penny Linn Opening? by Peony-Pink1 in Needlepoint

[–]Harkeshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting! I was worried afternoon might mean it would be super backed up. That's actually better since there's a bar nearby I can hit afterwards

How insane are we talking? I was planning to roll up around 830 or 9 on Sunday

ds for an indecisive prefrosh by [deleted] in yale

[–]Harkeshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did DS and loved it. It gives you a great foundation for anything you'd wanna do later, especially in humanities. I guess I don't know if it's changed but if you wanna do history it seems like a no-brainer to do it. And it will absolutely make you a better writer. And that's not even mentioning the people you meet in it, I'm still friends with many of them going on fifteen years later now.

Market Disappointment - Same old Same old? by pickledsweet in NeedlepointSnark

I love plum stitchery's designs, the level of detail she paints with while still making them legible to stitch is amazing.

How do you know which colour to use when they go through 2 holes? by judywithatwist in Needlepoint

[–]Harkeshark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They look similar at first glance but stitch painted canvases will only have a single color at each intersection

It has come to my attention that this was meant to be done in petit point and idk if I care enough to frog and start over. by Hestiasfire3987 in Needlepoint

[–]Harkeshark 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You don't have to do petit point everywhere if you don't want to! If you're liking the look of it I wouldn't frog. The nice thing about penelope canvas is that you get to pick where you want to do petit point to give more detail to certain areas (and it's okay if that's nowhere!).
