I keep seeing people doing “needlepoint” on Aida with wool and selling kits and it’s just wrong. Needlepoint is canvas plus wool or thread. Or people teaching embroidery techniques who aren’t doing a technique right in any universe.

Forgot to mention in Glasgow! Posting so others don’t waste their time going there for anything!

Your body is clearly hearing the noises and reacting without you even realising that you’ve heard the noises. Bodies are sneaky like that.

The poor stallholder was left shaking his head saying its silk and wool. He also told me of someone else going off on him for a pattern costing £4 because designers, printers and retailers all need to be paid.
