Description: Hi people, Brini here with another (more...) episode for your viewing pleasure. This week we're delving into needlepoint! It's a charming craft and so easy to do. The project that I'm working on in the show is Clyde the Camel and he's ever so much fun. One of the stitches we detail this time around are the tent stitch, which when done diagonally creates a basket weave on the back of the canvas. The reason we do the stitch in this pattern is to reduce distortion of the canvas because each diagonal line pulls the canvas in the opposite direction of the last, keeping the canvas much more square than if you work the stitch across or down. The other stitch I demonstrated is the satin stitch. It can be done vertically, horizontally or diagonally and covers more than one intersection of the canvas. The parallel stitches create a smooth surface that's pleasant to the touch. If you're interested in needlepoint you can find materials and supplies at www.needlepoint.com and information about the craft at www.needlepoint.org. For a more ironic view of the craft be sure and have a look at The Needlepoint Museum. This week on my NPR podcast I'm discussing the wonders of life without furniture. It's a young look, but can be lots of fun in a rumpus room! Be sure and have a listen. Don't forget to have a look at Felix Populi this week. We're just about to add some exciting new products, and while you're shopping have a gander at the Brini Maxwell auctions. This week we're featuring easy shifts for casual summer living. That's all for this week. Bye now! (less)
