THDay 1: What is needlepoint?
Needlepoint is the process of stitching over an open weave canvas. Traditional needlepoint canvases are stitch-painted, which means that every intersection (where the horizontal and vertical weave of the canvas meet) is painted a specific color, which is then stitched over using thread of the same color.
This makes needlepoint a lot like paint-by-number, but with a needle and thread!
Needlepoint designers spend a lot of time making sure that their designs are perfectly translated to that stitch-painted format. We’re very grateful, because it means that, as stitchers, we get to just enjoy the stitching process, since the design has already been laid out for us!
See you tomorrow for Day 2!
