Knit in public, knit in private, with your friends, or by yourself. This month, Knitterati focuses on knitting together in our knitting groups and discusses some ways to stay connected in the virtual world. Knitting doesn't require company, but it sure can be fun when it does!

Episode 3 - "Knitting Together"

[30 minutes]

Synopsis

In this episode of Knitterati, three knitters discuss their knitting groups. We learn about a great video pod-catcher I recently discovered. I demonstrate how to make your own unique point protectors. I share a way that we knitters can share our unwanted knitting books. And finally, Knitterati presents its first ever music video.

Stitch Corkers were the inspiration for my flat disc point protectors.

Visit bookmooch.com to become part of this book swapping community. After a little further investigation, it appears that I may has mis-spoke in calling Bookmooch a not-for-profit. However, using bookmooch is still entirely free in every aspect. You can find me on bookmooch as ninaclock.

The "Notice Me" music video was created using stop-motion animation. This was my very first attempt at stop-motion and I'm very pleased with the results. I used this simple tutorial as my guide. "Notice Me" will be released by itself as a mini episode in the New Year; so watch for it and other minisodes.
