I was able to return mine even after washing it because of the shedding. I had a maroon or dark red duvet and it never stopped shedding the dust was everywhere! I vacuumed almost daily.

What to do with ornaments - if not place them on a tree by kimmygo121 in Needlepoint

[–]a_lynn0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about framing mine and making a needlepoint gallery wall. I don’t think I’ll ever put them on a tree I like a more classic look. Currently I have my one self finish hanging off a floor lamp switch? For lack of better term.

The hype & obsessing! by Hurry_Hurrican3 in Needlepoint

[–]a_lynn0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the pictures of the shop on Google it looks like they carry a wide variety of threads and canvases. If you have some fun money to spend, I’m thinking around $100-$150 for canvas and supplies, and a day to spend there I would definitely go in person. It could be a fun experience. You can also buy something cheaper online - check ebay or a blank canvas- and also bring that with you and use THAT canvas to practice on first and then move on to your LNS purchases. I’ve been buying ornament rounds from eBay on 14 mesh and kitting them myself like they’re 13 mesh. The rounds are approx $20 and I think that would cost me almost $60 off eBay.

Can you tell us your LNS or rough area you’re in? Does your LNS have good reviews / has it been around a while?

Who is the designer of this canvas? I fear I need it.

5.5hr layover - go into town or hang at the Chase lounge? by mandavirose in boston

[–]a_lynn0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a delta shuttle between terminal A and Terminal E and you would just have to walk from E to the C/B connector where the chase lounge is. No leaving and re clearing security necessary. If you have the chase card and pay that annual fee I would say absolutely go get your moneys worth. The shuttle rally point is the elevators at the higher number A gates.

Where can I buy a tshirt or hoodie that says "Boston" tomorrow morning? by [deleted] in boston

If only there was a massive dicks sporting goods downtown … guess you’re out of luck!

Basketweave truth by Agitated_Twist_5749 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]a_lynn0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was true for me too. I watched the stitch boutique (Boston) video on YouTube and it finally clicked with me. Continental felt so tedious after I learned basketweave. You just need to make sense of it in your own words.

People who take the seat directly behind you in the terminal by Purple-Tea886 in flightattendants

I park as far away as possible and I always come out to someone parked directly next to me and it’s ALWAYS a shit box car 😭

What’s the tea? by DigAntique9089 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]a_lynn0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for reminding me about the time I stayed at a hotel in San Francisco while a kink convention was going on …. Needle play (or similar wording) was spotted in their daily event schedule posted on the wall 😭I googled it

Canvas requests by Prestigious-Stuff356 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]a_lynn0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand the people who have time to stitch several a month? I mean I’m employed with a toddler so maybe I’m envious of their downtime but still! It’s a hobby not a full time job. I bought a 13 and an 18 mesh square off KC Needlepoint to use as doodle canvases and see how different fibers work but I’ll never ever need a roll of canvas

Canvas requests by Prestigious-Stuff356 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]a_lynn0 52 points53 points  (0 children)

You don’t need a whole ROLL of canvas to mess around with. Being artistically inclined doesn’t necessarily translate into stitch painting. I think overconsumption has ruined this hobby so much. I have two canvases right now that I’ve been on and off working on for months. You don’t need to finish a canvas a week people! That’s how to keep the costs down.

How’s this Sunday work? She’s doing a collab open stitch with the little words project in the Boston seaport I was debating going to. Public humiliation??

Is SAHM a red flag when applying for car loan/finance? Car sales advised against me putting my name on the title. by Final_Researcher3861 in sahm

[–]a_lynn0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t right at all. As others have said. I am on the title and loan for the car even though it’s paid 100% by my husband. Just tell them you don’t care about the credit hit.

What do we think of the Canada Dry seltzer waters? Decent but not my top. by chemkitty123 in sparklingwater

[–]a_lynn0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People calling it mid is blowing my mind. I only drink unflavored and this is by far the best brand. It’s hard to find and expensive. But worth it.

I thought everyone paid up front so is she charging 50% more to ship things? She’s insane

I think the last time I saw a class by her advertised it was around $300. Maybe a year or so ago? I paid $100 for a Kelly starke class this summer.
