Awhile back I purchased this Charley Harper needlepoint canvas from Purl Soho.
The image on the canvas is called gregarious grosbeaks--it was a little pricey, but I really love this image and wanted to try my hand at needlepoint so, I went ahead and "treated" myself.
My best intentions were to begin this project as soon as I received my package and in the meantime I gathered some needlpoint how to books from the thrift stores and more information on-line. I received everything except one of the colored yarns, which they sold out of, but wrote they would send me the color as soon as it was back in-stock. A month passed so, I checked their website and saw they had the color in question back in-stock. I sent an email about the missing color of yarn and they apologized profusely about having overlooked the last part of my order.
While waiting for the last color of yarn to arrive I started on my Christmas gifts--knitting up lots of scarfs, and my best intentions for this needlepoint project went awry-- it now sits in a little corner waiting for me to cover it in stitches.
I may get back to it in the summer.
