Knitting: not just a hobby

[firstfallenpanda]

It's more of a lifestyle choice.

So, I'm organising this KIP Day event at Cavendish on Saturday (10am in the Food Court, be there!) and it's gotten out to the press. A journo from the Cape Times contacted my accomplice Jezze and said they were doing an article about it (yesterday's paper, I didn't get it dammit). Then today Jezze gets an email from the producer of Cape Talk's morning show who wants to do a telephonic interview with someone tomorrow morning. She asks me if I want to do it, citing her nerves and lack of coherent sentences as a problem* and now I'm going to be on the radio** tomorrow. Yay.

How did I go from "casual knitter of baby jerseys out of cheap crappy yarn***" to "local organiser of knitting events and media personality"?? Eep. Where will it end?! I might have found my "passion".



* I suspect she just didn't want to be up for the 6.45 phonecall :P

** hopefully saying something other than "braaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnns, cofffeeeeeeeeeeee"

*** You know how you can tell a master needleworker by the fact that they look at the back of the worked piece? Well, you can tell a real knitter by the fact that they refer to it as "yarn" and not "wool".

So cool! You'll have to tape it in mp3 format and put it somewhere your loyal readers can access it :).

Uhh, I wouldn't know how to. I'll ask the radio ppls. _Or_ you could just get up at the crack of sparrow's fart and listen :P. The website has streaming audio, I think.

I was thinking you could ask confluence & co. They may have some nifty ways to do it.
