knitting daily tv!

This is just a quickie post about Knitting Daily's new TV series which will air on public television networks nation-wide. Read all about it. I expect it will be more interesting to me than Knit & Crochet Today's show - which I watch when I can. (Not lately.)

By far, my favorite knitting tv show was way back in the 80's or maybe early 90's, with EZ. It was called Knitting Workshop and the DVD's are available all over the Internet. I learned how to knit in the round on multiple needles and on a circular one. That may be where I learned to knit backwards - if not, I learned from one of EZ's books. That show was the informal instruction in knitting that is the basis of my understanding of knitting to this day.

I hope new knitters will be offered more than a parade of interesting yarns, but real instruction in knitting and finishing techniques.
