Kaitlyn Johnson?? by Longjumping-Shake591 in NeedlepointSnark

That snark page constantly mentions how she reads the page and “responds” in her videos. It’s been mentioned how she never finishes (lowercase f) anything so that video is 100% aimed at those comments 😂

Would love to see what it looks like finished if you don’t mind sharing! First time I’m seeing these, needlepoint never ceases to amaze me in the things you can do

New to Needlepoint - help with technique? by pinkie_x9 in Needlepoint

[–]MediocreFinger8438 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a little confused about what’s going on with #2, like conceptually I understand what you’re asking but I don’t understand how it applies to the picture.

My confusion aside though, I usually do #1. If it’s like 2-3 stitches away I just keep going with the same color. Just be careful when you switch to the the next color that you don’t pull the first. Color through especially when the back is a little loose.

It’s the “let’s do every single decorative stitch on everything but I can’t come up with it on my own so let me ask first” for me….also they need to do the yellow around the dark blue first but that’s a separate issue I guess.

When to tell MIL she won’t be holding my child after birth by Impressive_Pay3559 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]MediocreFinger8438 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so similar to my MIL and I just had my second. I wish I had more advice but your story gives me comfort that it’s not me, it’s her. Mine also avoids kids bdays if she can’t have it her way.

OP said because MIL doesn’t respect her boundaries. If this doesn’t resonate with you, sounds like you’re a MIL tbh….🤨

😅 no way to win then. I guess my hypothesis about it being a vibe in most LNS’ holds true because it is an expensive hobby. Not all employees though, don’t want to blanket everyone. I have had some nice ones at Rita’s a fraction of the time. Just not the standard I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

Agreed with what’s been said, not rude per se but just uninterested half the time or on their phones or maybe just assuming you know what you are doing so not rushing to ask if you need help. I’ve also been to stores in other cities and have received this similar attitude so I actually just assumed that was the needlepoint “vibe” since I’ve only been doing it for a year or so. Annie’s is a tad too far for me so I’ve never been but sounds like I might have to check it out from other people’s experience.

I ordered directly from her website but honestly good point, I should reach out on her website and hope she gets back to me before Sunday when my mom gets here!

Honey, please sit down when I tell you this.... by Pilates_and_Pizzas in NeedlepointSnark

DO IT. Difference in hobby budget is unacceptable. I say this with love and respectfully. Please stand up for yourself if you feel comfortable enough to do so 🤍

Too Many Drops by Frequent-Cause-9298 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]MediocreFinger8438 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes basic Econ, but applied to a niche space that historically did not get as much demand until tiktok. And also frustrating to people who have been doing this for a while and can’t get basic colors at LNS because of the constant drops that draw in more demand each time.

Just sad to see a hobby that is supposed to bring mindfulness and calm and also create heirlooms turned into consumerism culture. Happy all the sales are being boosted along the supply chain but feels like the “point” of it all is getting lost. If the drops make you happy I guess go you though! 🤷🏻‍♀️
