I still need your help …


Our Close Knit Community is growing, but slowly, and I need your help to spread the word. I’m trying to get 2,500 people (yes,I know that’s a few) to donate $10 to help me make more episodes of my online knitting show. How can you help? Well, if you’re able to, donate $10 (or any amount you’re able to) to the project. Clicking on the picture below will bring you to the link where you can make a contribution. There are different perks for different levels of contribution. Also, while you’re doing this, please leave a comment about the project on the site. This is very important as it increases the chances of the project being featured on the Indiegogo site and thereby receiving more donations from outside sources.

If you’re not able to donate to the project (or already have), I could still use your help to spread the word. Sharing this blog post with your network would be a great help in spreading the word about this project. If you could spread it not just through social media, but any form of contact with others you have that would be greatly appreciated. Nowadays it’s easy for us to just put up a Facebook status update or send a tweet and assume the message got through. If you could take a few extra moments to tell someone (even if it’s just one person) about it personally that would have a greater impact. And you’d have my thanks and appreciation.

I’d like to stress that this is not just about creating a knitting show to make money. There are a few more important aspects to this project than that …

    • This is about creating a global close knit community. With the technology and resources available to us today, we have the ability to connect with virtually everyone on the planet. I’d like to think that we have more in common with our fellow man/woman than we realize and if we’re able to make a connection with each other it can only help to make this a better place to live.
    • It’s also about informing everyone about the amazingly wonderful world of knitting! In the beginning I knew there was a lot more I could learn and share about in the world of knitting than I could express in a blog, but even so I am overwhelmed at the ideas and suggestions I get virtually every day about segments for this show! I am certain that I can put out a new episode every week with 3 segments for at least 20 years without running out of shows.
    • It’s about helping the industry to evolve and inform people about the viability and importance of the craft. Every day, when people find out what I’m doing, I hear them say, yeah, knitting is making a comeback. The truth is it never left. Even with that, the industry faces a tough uphill struggle if it is to maintain and even increase it’s current tenuous standing in the consumer’s eye. Hopefully, by informing people of their options with knitting, knitters and non knitters alike, they’ll be able to help support the industry in some capacity.
    • But mostly it’s about learning and teaching and enjoying the pleasure that comes from sharing a very pleasurable past time with someone else.

As an added bonus, I’m going to add a perk for anyone that makes a donation of any amount. I will be doing a draw after the campaign is over for a custom designed and hand knit sweater (by yours truly) to one luck donor. The draw will be shown on the first new episode of the show! Good luck!

Hugzzz 😎
