I'm sure I can safely say that this wasn't Janet's <br>intention at all. She was, I think, merely trying to make a point <br>about needlepoint being a portable craft that can be done in short <br>spans of time.

I'm sorry this also <br>gave you pause, and if you'd like to share your reasons for that, I'd <br>love to hear them.<br><br>I do admire Janet's passion for this craft, and I think her enthusiasm <br>comes through in this show. But it's never my intention to offend any <br>craft or crafter. My sincere apologies. I'm sorry, Debbie, that you found the comparison to knitting
offensive. I'm sure I can safely say that this wasn't Janet's
intention at all. She was, I think, merely trying to make a point
about needlepoint being a portable craft that can be done in short
spans of time. Knitting being so widely practiced and well known, I
think it was perhaps natural to use it as a comparison point.

I also think it's a great thing that any kind of leftover yarn can be
used for needlepoint, including knitting yarn. I'm sorry this also
gave you pause, and if you'd like to share your reasons for that, I'd
love to hear them.

I do admire Janet's passion for this craft, and I think her enthusiasm
comes through in this show. But it's never my intention to offend any
craft or crafter. My sincere apologies.

I wanted to hear about the joys of needlepoint (because I do enjoy it from time to time) without an unreasonable and illogical comparison to knitting. I continued to listen and had to stop when she then suggested using leftover knitting yarns as needlepoint yarns. Huh??! I will eventually listen to the rest of this interview, but so far this has been my first and only disappointment of all Craftypod shows. So I'll not hold any grudges and can't wait to get the new book, too. (your mom's proud review brightened my day just when I needed it) Am I the only knitter a tad offended by this guest?
