Week 2 - First Video Released

 I did it! I really did it! I learned some basics on video editing software. Enough so I could edit some videos and get them up on my new YouTube channel. Jenny Fish Knits!

I decided to go with the basic of all basics - how to make a slip knot. Most projects start out with a slip knot. With that being the case I jumped right in. Made a practice video. I'm still working on the background. I don't like the color of my table very much. In the next video I put down a rug for contrast. I'm not sure I like that either. But I'll keep trying out things until I like it.

I found Canva. Then played around and created an intro and something that can be used as a logo for now. 

That took a bit of time and I'm not 100% sure how I did it. I just played around until I got something I liked. I'm sure I will tweak it over time.

This week I started on the task of organizing my studio. Here are some before pictures:

I know! It is BAD! I did manage to clear out 2 trash bags of stuff and clear out my desk area and my studio table.

This truly is a great space. I'm still working on getting it under control. I will post pictures when I have it finished. I see a lot of yarn ball winding in my future!

I found the oldest yarn I have in my stash. I purchased this yarn 20 years ago. 

I decided to take it out and finally make something with it. After digging it out I found I have 7 balls of this Dynasty Yarn Bouclé. First things first - make a swatch. After casting on and starting the swatch, the yarn spoke to me. It want's to be a simple scarf. So, I'm helping it along and soon it will meet it's destined design. 

I also worked on my Social Media. You can now follow me on the following

I also applied for a position with a yarn company. I have to say, I received the nicest rejection letter ever! I actually felt bad for her that she had to tell me no... Crazy huh! All in all, the position had been filled before I submitted my resume. However, they asked that I keep checking with them and submit again if they have an opening that inspires me. Even if this isn't true, no hard feelings with this yarn company and I will keep checking with them. 

I also checked in a couple of jobs outside my normal area. Got sucked into a Travel Agency program that they wanted me to pay them a monthly fee to work for them... huh? Nope, not for me! Even if they give great discounts for vacations.

Now it's time to get this week started... More videos, more cleaning, more organizing and a lot more social media coming soon!
