Turning Crochet Designs into Needlepoint

Marion of the WoolThreadPaint channel on YouTube designs crochet patterns, but like most of us, she does other needlework.  The video talks about the inspiration she took from the east coast of Scotland's beach during Covid and how she created the design, then how she decided that the grids of needlepoint and Granny squares were similar and made needlepoint versions of some of her crochet blankets.

Here's her Etsy shop.  All the patterns are for crochet but if enough are interested, Marion might do a needlepoint chart.

Knit, Purl and Sow at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden

SJ Designs posted on Facebook today about an exhibit of knit and crocheted flowers at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden which looks to be worth seeing. The flowers and leaves have some embroidery on them, and the finished products are very realistic.

The exhibit will be there until January 22nd, so there is plenty of time to visit before Holiday Madness begins if you live in the area or will be visiting there this fall.  Thanks for the tip, Susan!
