Hi friends. Melissa and Megan here to announce that the Pointing It Out Podcast will be going on a brief hiatus. While we are both moving our shops to new locations, we felt it would be best for us to hold off on new episodes of the podcast until we are settled.

Megan and Melissa chat today about the end of the 2024 Pointing It Out Needlepoint Challenge. Over 100 of you completed the challenge with us and we are so grateful that you joined us! Today, we draw winners for incredible prizes.

Today Melissa of The Wool & The Floss, chats with Jennifer Simonic, co-founder of the Loose Ends Project. The idea for Loose Ends came about when Jennifer and co-founder Masey Kaplan, both avid knitters, realized they had a shared experience: Friends would often ask them to finish blankets, sweaters, or other projects left undone by deceased loved ones. They always do so enthusiastically, understanding what it feels like to wear something a loved one has made. Loose Ends welcomes textile handwork crafters

We are so pleased to welcome so many new listeners and viewers to The Pointing It Out Podcast, that we thought we would take a moment to introduce (or re-introduce) ourselves! This week, Melissa interviews Megan of The Needlepoint Clubhouse about her career, needlepoint, owning her own needlepoint shop, and now wholesale lines.
