I’m doodling with my next couple of “feature” post ideas.
Needlepoint Land has two types of posts: light and breezy quickies, usually humorous (or at least, trying to be so), and longer, serendipitous pieces that are designed to cover some interesting subject that you might not normally encounter in a traditional needlepoint blog.
There are plenty of sources about particular stitching techniques, so I won’t focus on these as much here. I won’t ignore them, of course, particularly as I have some surprise old-school goodies coming down the pike.
In the meantime, I’ll mention a seminal reference book, in which stitching techniques are covered more or less exhaustively. More on that at the end of this post.
One of my upcoming features will be a review of a book about what happens when you “go online” to visit an e-commerce site. I alluded to this book in an earlier post. It’s called The Daily You, by Joseph Turow, and it was published in 2011 by Yale University.
It’s a very dry read, but I will give it the Needlepoint Land treatment, which means I’ll try to review the book in an off-the-wall way, for your entertainment, dear viewer, sometime during the next week, unless life gets in the way. Anyone who visits a web site or blog, whether it’s about needlepoint or not, ought read this book, or, absent that, check out my standup routine review.
