It’s the first Wednesday in December and time for another Midweek Chat. This week’s topics include our year-end schedule (join us Christmas Day at 2:00 p.m. Eastern), the Fiber Talk Needle Arts Weekend, great deals on sampler and “sampler-adjacent” charts at Sassy Jacks, Cindy’s new trestles from TF Woodcraft, and the cost of kitting projects at local needlework stores. The kitting projects topic originated from Melissa Dru MacLeod, owner of the Wool & The Floss (woolfloss.com) and one of the members of the Pointing It Out podcast team. Sunday’s guest: Jeannette Tombaugh, Mountain Peaks Studio.–Cindy and Gary

I never realized that there isn’t much margin on needlepoint fibers. Honestly shop owners with us behind them should start a revolt. When I can buy 200 yards of a silk and merino knitting fiber for $15 compared to 27 yards of Silk & Ivory for $6.75, something is wrong. I’ve started using knitting fibers on my canvases for both cost reasons and to add interest, and knowing that shops don’t make much from me on threads, I will likely continue to do so.
