Back on the 21st of October I had a little jaunt down to Arundel to film a couple of programmes on dyeing wool with acid dyes for the new internet TV channel Knit1.tv.

Sadly I was my usual inane self and didn’t suddenly become witty and charming when put in front of a camera (well it was a nice thought). It was quite a fun day though, and although I was very nervous (when will I learn that I find any kind of performing very scary??), they were all very kind, and laughed with me rather than at me (or at least that is my interpretation).

The company that makes Knit1.tv also does several other internet tv channels, including one on beads, and one on miniature railways. The set we were using for the dyeing was one they often use for miniature railways, so it does look rather like I am dyeing yarn in a shed. Here is my beautiful pseudo-shed, with the yarn cooking in the steamer.

And here is my view from behind the counter, looking out to the cameras.

And here is the finished yarn.

100% superwash bluefaced leicester, 4ply weight.

They split my waffle into two programmes (because I go on, and on, and on), Part 1 and Part 2.

So if you have been harbouring a desire to see me large as life and twice as ugly I am there for your delectation! I’ve only just got my subscription password so I haven’t watched all the way through the programmes yet. Let me know if I say anything too awful. Luckily they didn’t have the camera on when I was dancing around between the programmes.
