I'm very happy to report that I survived my first experience with LIVE TV! I got up at 3 AM yesterday morning and, along with Liberty from Great Lakes Bay Moms, we made the trip to Clio, MI to be ready for our 2, 2 minute-ish live segments with Brittany Shannon of my local TV25 morning news.

Knitterella and GLBM on TV
(Liberty and I) |
(Close up shot. LOVE that head form that Liberty brought for me - I want one!)
The below picture is a photo of me on set. The segment was about bundling up yourself and your kids for the cold weather. A more detailed article from GLBM can be found HERE. In the segment I explained that the patterns on my left were my original Knitterella pattern designs and since I have yet to add children's patterns to my line, the hats on the right of me were made from FREE patterns found online. A list and links to each sample knit that I had on set can be found HERE.

Knitterella on TV
Recently I found out the I'm going to have the opportunity to be on TV! Yes, Knitterella on TV and I'm so excited (and nervous)! There is an awesome, local group in my area called Great Lakes Bay Moms. They are going on my local TV25 morning news next Monday the 17th and are going to talk about the importance of bundling up yourself and kids during these cold Michigan winter months. The Great Lakes Bay Moms were looking for a knitter that could share his/her insight on this subject and the knitter they found was me! Since bundling up with handknits is my favorite way to dress myself and my kids I was so on board! Along with featuring my own knitting patterns I also will be talking about all the resources found online for knitters/crocheters. I'm going to showcase samples of fun and stylish knitted/crocheted hats that are made from FREE patterns found online. I will be posting links to these patterns once the episode is aired so viewers can start casting on. Sounds like fun, don't you think?
Right now I'm trying to knit as much as I can. On the needles now, is a Cheery Scrap Hat from Tot Toppers - SO cute! What are your favorite FREE patterns for baby/child hats? I need to knit up as many samples as I can and FAST!
