Here’s How It’s Done!

If you have been reading the blog posts about the Silk Garden Blanket (aka: woobie, found in this book) that I am knitting then this will look familiar to you. We decided to shoot a quick video to show you HOW it is done. It is a case of something looking super complicated but in reality is SO easy. So here we go. (Let us know how we did!)

[Note from Amos, Halcyon Yarn's resident tech dork:] This video looks best in fullscreen (it is HD) and can also be seen on our vimeo page. Just picked up a Canon T2i camera, and this is pretty much the first video clip shot on the camera… Be sure to view it in high definition if your internet connection is fast enough… Technically, there is room for improvement, (still learning the camera, and didn’t have time for multiple shoots today), but if folks find this video useful we’re psycked to do more!

    while I found the video very informative the background techno “music” was beyond annoying. I was tempted to just stop the video multiple times because it was getting on my last nerve. the only reason I watched it all the way through was because I really wanted to see how that particular stitch was done.

    please please please don’t feel you need to fill the empty space while the knitting magic is happening with background noise!

    This video was very helpful. Nice view of the stitches. I would love to see more!

    I agree, nice video, but very annoying music in the background!
