Tel Aviv in Guerilla Action

A successful day with the gorgeous Shirily from savtaconnection.com

Streets of Tel Aviv

Ready to film the streets of Tel Aviv today as I meet the lovely Shirily and find out the dramas of Yarm Bombing in Israel. Stay tuned :)

2 more sleeps until the adventure begins!

I've got all my equipment ready, and now I just need to pack.

I've failed at my first attempt to start packing. Hopefully I'll get my things into a backpack in time.

I'm wondering if I should risk sneaking my crochet hook onto the plane. I'm not sure how it is with their obstruction of security measures. Those crochet hooks are pretty dangerous, but I'm making a flower how dangerous can I really be?

Catch you on the road!

Who's Next!?

So I'm really happy with my fabulous knitters Grrl & Dog and Veronica Darling and now I'm busy talk to many knitters about my next shoots.

I feel like maybe this shouldn't be a girl wit ha crappy camera because my camera is actually pretty good. I've also just purchased my own awesome radio mic so I'm READY! Funding so far has been a bit of a struggle. I'll be heading over to Scotland in early May where I'll be working at BBC (super YAY) so perhaps I'll have another opportunity to pitch there maybe?. WHO KNOWS? (Can you even imagine if BBC bought my story? I think I would lose bladder control).

Enough of hypothetical scenarios, My next interview will be in Tel-Aviv Israel in April, Stay tuned.

I've just put a segment together that I shot at Bendigo Woollen Mills... this is also where I buy my wool and meeting the staff made me love them even more. The clip is pretty dam good but I think that if I give away too much there might not be enough surprises. Please note, the clips I put on the blog are teasers only. They are not the final program, there are plenty of surprises.

Don't forget, if you hate this, please let me know because I want to know!

Teasing you with a short clip

Spending an afternoon with Veronica Darling.

Please note, these are only teasers, not the entire story!

Guerilla knitter in Amsterdam?

As I'm just about to leave for my world tour of shooting for the knitting documentary, I find the challenge getting excitingly harder. Thanks to the wonderful people who are helping me and the internet of course, I'm getting connected with knitters all around the world.

I'm currently looking for knitters in Amsterdam who are into stitching the streets. Please email me if you have any connections or are interested in having a say.

I'm also looking for people who hate guerilla knitting. I want to know why, tell me why please!!!

Guerilla knitter interview

I recently met up with Veronica Darling and she was a ball.

Check out her knits in Enmore Sydney at Wilford street/Lane corner of Enmore road.

Veronica Darling inspired me with her ideology towards life through the craft. I look forwards to putting her story together.

A Knitted Convenience

A documentary about the growing subculture sweeping the world of people who wrap public spaces in knitted fibres.

I'm currently looking for more fabulous knitters like Denise Litchfield, with a story to share.

Hidden.

She sits.

She prays.

Shame

She feels.

She cries.

Stop.
