Knitting Daily TV, a new knitting show is scheduled to launch on many
public television stations around the country in July 2008. This
magazine-format TV series is a makeover of Needle Arts Studio with Shay
Pendray, the first and longest-running program on public television to
focus on the needle arts.
Knitting Daily TV will be hosted by
a cast of popular magazine editors: "Interweave Knits" Editor Eunny
Jang, "Interweave Crochet" Editor Kim Werker, "Handwoven" Managing
Editor and former Managing Editor of "Spin-Off", Liz Gipson, along with
Shay Pendray. The 30-minute themed episodes will cover a variety of
needle crafts—from knitting and crochet to stitching, felting, and
spinning—and guide viewers in learning to make fun yet smart
one-of-a-kind designs using the latest products in yarn and fiber.
Industry
experts and renowned designers will appear as guests and join the
"Knitting Daily TV" team to bring fiber fans great projects for the
beginner to advanced, updates on tools and materials, in-depth
technique tutorials, and creative ideas that are sure to inspire.
The
makeover of Needle Arts Studio starts with a new name, set, music, and
graphics, but the changes are more than cosmetic. “The growing
community of DIY-ers doesn’t just want to watch, they want to be a
part of it. “Knitting Daily TV†will merge how-to television
programming with the online community of knitters in an exciting new
way,†said Executive Producer Kathie Stull.
KnittingDailyTV.com
is the online companion to the TV show. The site will feature video
clips, episode recaps, patterns, interactive discussion, local TV
schedules, and more. In addition, "Knitting Daily TV" will have a
presence on MySpace and Facebook and episode previews will be available
on YouTube.
The show will regularly invite the Knitting Daily
online community to be a part of the program by incorporating segments
such as "You Asked It", where hosts answer everyday needle-arts
questions of people in the online community or “You Made It,â€
featuring their handmade creations—bringing a fun twist to the
traditional knitting circle and the viral concept of the online
knit-along. |
