Knitting Bee is ready for 2013
So the christmas break is over in a few hours.
I’m ready!
I start this year with a course which does not directly concern Knitting Bee, but some of the stuff behind; getting in contact with more people through social media.
I’m so excited!
We are making an online blanket and you can join us and be a part.
I just been working on my first piece. I’m going to decorate it with stars or flowers –
I hope that you’ll join us
A secret – the online blanket
So we made it!
The first real hangout where Inge from Sweden, Kathrin, from upstate New York and me, from Denmark, meet and had a nice talk
-
Next time we meet at google + is January 9 at 20.30 – Dk-time and I hope that we can make it online on air so you can follow online.

Tonight my husbond show me this video on Ted.
And I’m blown away – big time!!!
The artist Janet Echelman making art from fishing net!
Watching this film was a huge creative infusion – especially thinking about the blanket ‘A secret’ and the question: What is a net?
A Secret – we’ll meet again november 21 st
So tonight was the big night for the hangout.
I have been scanning patterns, fixing yarn and so on – and then I forgot to check that if the microphone was on!!
After one and a half hour we finally got the hangout to work – you can see the result here – I’ll tack about the secret part..
In the next days I’ll write some more about this project – hope to see you next week
Preview
A few weeks ago I meet with my partner in crime yarn, Kristina.
We talked about the blanket ‘a secret’, how to make the blanket and make a design that would work.
So I have decided to make a design and choose some colors…
It only feels a little bit like an early takeoff..
The blanket and the ideas about creating it from scratch was beginning to be somewhat intangible, so I have started a design that indicate ‘a web’ to me.
There will be great opportunity to interpret your own ideas about a web on to your pieces. I will make the pattern in pdf so you’ll be able to download it.
I got a donation of yarn the other day and the colors are so great that I have deiced to used that yarn.
En uge til ‘a secret’
Så er der en uge til vi skal mødes online og starte på et nyt tæppe.
Jeg skrevet lidt spørgsmål og svar omkring på siden her.
Og så har jeg lavet et design oplæg, som jeg vil fortælle mere om de kommende dage.
There’s one week to we’ll meet online and start making the blanket ‘a secret’.
I have made a page with about the hangout – i’ll soon make it in english as well.
And I have made a design for the blanket, which I’ll tell more about in the nex couple of days.
Tæppernes fortæller..
det er mig – og det er en ret god titel, jeg der fik.
Tæpperne tog mig jo med på tur i sidste uge – de skulle nemlig i avisen.
Artiklen blev bragt i Amager Bladet og jeg syntes at journalisten virkelig har forstået at skrive en god artikel.

på billedet her er jeg ved at fortælle om den kommende Hangout som kommer til at foregå d. 13. november kl. 20.30 på google+

Hangout in english
So I made a hangout in english…
My son uses hangout learing language and he absolutely do not understand that I have hangout just me alone.
But I keep it up – I’m sure that some day you’ll join me Perhaps if i’ll tell about it before going online…
So the question is still:
what is a net, a web, a network and how do we make a blanket symbolizing a net…
And an other question is;
should we make two hangouts? One for EU time and one for US time?
Please let me know what you think.
And remember; to join the hangout you’ll have to follow Knitting Bee on google+.
And now in english..
Dear You …
This is my very first post in english… hope it’s understandable
I’m getting started with google+ trying to find out how it’s working, how to build a google+ network.
It’s fun to search, find and add the ones I find interesting, makes me curiosity or whatever…
What I enjoy most is google Hangout – video chat with up to 10 people and the ability to broadcast live. It means I can have a video chat with people around the country – perhaps also a few in Europe and the U.S.? and make a Knitting Bee blancket online.
Where and when?
It is online at google+ Tuesday 13th November at. 20.30
What do you need to participate?
A computer – a network access and a google+ account that follows Knitting Bee.
A pair of knitting needles, a crochet hook, yarn, fabric, needles – or whatever you like best to work with.
And it requires something on the creative account.
I work to a certain extent intuitive – it means that I let feelings grow – I do not have a complete idea, but an idea and then I let it grow.
A blanket made by many is a joint event – and everybody is important.
The task I want to ask you is to give you a couple of questions.
Question with no ready answer. These are questions that should be allowed to live a little in you so that we can gather input when we meet online.
In the danish video I philosophize over a few more question
What is a net, what is network?
I’ll be really pleased to hear your thoughts som pleas comment here or at google+
You can also be a part of making the blanket even if you cannot participate live. Video will on youtube afterwards.
You send the patches to me and then I sew them together. And then we find out who is going to get the blanket..
Right now I think we should draw lots, among all those who have made patches, but who knows .. maybe there is one of you who has a better idea ..?
And what about ‘a secret’ …. something secret … I’ll let you an other day
Love
Thea
Optakt til ‘a secret’ part 2
Hvad er et net?
Kære Du..
Jeg mener det helt alvorligt – det er DIG jeg vil lege med!
Jeg er jo kommet i gang med google+ og skal finde ud af hvad det duer til indenfor det med at skabe kontakt, opbygge et netværk. Det er sjovt at lede og finde og tilføje dem man syntes ser interessante ud, vækker nysgerrighed eller hvad det nu er.
Og det jeg syntes bedst om er deres Hangout – videochat med op til 10 personer og mulighed for at sende live. Det kan være at jeg er lidt bagud og at man kan det med andre tjeneste…
Men det betyder at jeg kan have en videochat med folk rundt om i landet – måske også et par i Europa og USA? og på den måde lave et online tæppe.
Hvor og hvornår?
Det foregår online på google+ tirsdag 13. november kl. 20.30
Hvad kræver det?
Lysten til at være med.
En pc – en net adgang og en google+ konto, der følger Knitting Bee.
Et par strikkepinde, en hæklenål, garn, stof, nåle – eller hvad du nu holder mest af at arbejde med.
Og så kræver det noget på den kreative konto.
Jeg arbejder i et vist omfang intuitivt – det betyder at jeg lader fornemmelserne vokse – jeg har ikke en færdig ide, men en fornemmelse og derfra lader jeg det vokse.
Et tæppe lavet i fællesskab er netop fælles.
Den opgave jeg vil stille dig er at give dig et par spørgsmål. Det er ikke spørgsmål som skal have et færdigt svar. Det er spørgsmål som skal have lov at leve lidt i dig, så vi kan samle input, når vi mødes online.
I videoen filosofere jeg over lidt flere spørgsmål, men:
Hvad er et net?
Kom rigtig gerne med lidt input, gerne her og rigtig gerne på google+
Du kan også være med til at lave tæppet selvom du ikke kan være med live. Videoen komme på youtube og så kan du se med der.
De lapper vi laver skal sendes til mig og så syr jeg dem sammen. Og så skal vi finde ud af hvem der skal have tæppet… Lige nu tænker jeg at vi skal trække lod, mellem alle dem der har lavet lapper, men hvem ved.. måske er der en af jer der har en bedre ide..?
Og så er lige det med ‘a secret’…. noget hemmeligt…
Kærlig hilsen
Thea
