Video podcasts
have become my most recent pastime.
It's giving me the opportunity
to watch and learn from these
knitters/crocheters/spinners/dyers
who
are blogging using video rather than
the written word with photos.
Gives us the opportunity to see it ALL ! ! !
Love it ! ! !
You know what they say,
a picture is worth a thousand words . .
so true with the case of video podcasts.
Many of these video podcasters
also spin, using spindles and/or wheels,
there are independent dyers with online shops.
Just ask me how I know.
All are sharing and generous
with their fleece & fiber love & knowledge.
Look Out! ! ! It just may be catchy.
While watching a new-to-me vidcast/vlog
I saw
Aubrey of This Knits In The Bag
showing a recent completion - -
Lexington Waves Knitted Beaded Necklace
you can see the free pattern here on Ravelry
You know me,
never a new pattern/technique/yarn Gerry won't try.
Printed out a Hobby Lobby 40% off coupon
and shopped
for beads.
I did limit my purchase to beads
just for this project!!!!
Using leftover sock yarn
I made my first knitting-beading project.
Lexington Waves.
Then . . . .
Using left over yarn from Multnomah Shawl
- - - - - -
my second Lexington Waves Knitted Beaded Necklace
opps, I still have beads leftover.
Oh, oh. . .

Speaking of Multnomah
here it is
just prior to going for a soak and
a session of blocking.
Flutterby-sort-a- beauty isn't it ! ! !

ReplyDeleteAre there podcasts that are just audio?
Wow, I especially love the grey and green necklace! I've seen old-fashioned knitted coin purses using this technique also - so pretty and feminine.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the colors of your new Multnomah; nice and cozy for the cold weather that's coming!
I just discovered podcasts and having been listening and watching them on my ipod. I now need to watch the one with beads because I want to do that! They are so lovely Gerry. I really want to come and hang with you for awhile just so I can see you in action! You have once again amazed me with your wonderful talent!xx
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of how-to videos and as our kniting community is so widely spread, they come in handy when I'm struggling with a method or technique. You do know that you are AMAZING, right? I love your beadwork (I want to try!!) and your Multnomah is sooooo pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose necklaces certainly turned out nice. I'm sure you enjoyed the challenge. Love the shawl. I still don't think you sleep.
ReplyDeleteThose necklaces are amazing! I need to learn how to knit in 2012. I know the videos are grrrrreat! That's pretty much how I taught myself to crochet...well, uhm, "crochet geek" taught me the basics. Yay for the internet! It's such a different world now!
