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. All the videos with the latest on top are collected here--
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. (Note that Gary plans to make the laying tool section a standalone video.)
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.
The third video is all about Congress Cloth.
The fourth covers needles, choosing the right size, how often to discard a needle and more.
