Gary, Beth and Cindy have started a new podcast exclusively about counted canvaswork as part of Fiber Talk. The third Wednesday of each month they will talk about stitching on blank canvas from a chart. If you ever wanted to learn more about this type of needlepoint, it's a fun way to dip your toe into things. The second episode should be out today but the January episode is ready for your listening pleasure. (Or you can watch on YouTube, just follow the link.)
They've added two videos demonstrating putting canvas on stretcher bars. You can see those here.
The second full episode of counted canvaswork covers the availability of blank canvas, the cost of threads, how to read a counted chart and shows the various laying tools that are available and how to use them.
By the way, Fiber Talk has just done an interview with the counted canvaswork designer Kathy Rees of Needle Delights, so if you want to get to know one of the talented people who designs needlepoint charts, you can listen here.
