Who said counted thread was dead?!
UPDATE: Got a nice message from Judi at Thistle Needleworks. You might remember Judi as one of the victims I've interviewed here on Blog and as the person behind the Thistle Needleworks and the Alex Paras Needle Arts websites.

Judi says, "It may be a small point, but I believe the designs that are featured at the shop you blogged about are Charted Canvas designs for the most part and not Counted Thread designs. Those of us in the industry distinguish between charted/counted designs worked on canvas (Counted or Charted Canvas) and those worked on fabric (Counted Thread)."
Thanks for the correction, Judi. You can see how ignorant I am of the proper terms, not to mention how much of a beginner I am doing charted work! My apologies to the stitchers of such things. Keep up the corrections, folks. No one knows it all, especially me.

On-line is the perfect place for needlepoint shops now. The overhead of a "doors & windows" shop would crush a new needlepoint store.
The only LNS that seem to be surviving are the very long time established stores and I am told they are not doing all that great.
I know my needlepoint store would not have made it to 14 months if I was running an actual store. The lower carrying costs on the net make it possible to stay open in this uncertain economy.
I wish them all the luck, the more of us, the merrier as far as I am concerned.
