First Video!

Okay. So I've finished uploading my first knitting tutorial. It can be found here:

Knitting Tutorial (Basics) Part 1

Video Going Live!

Hi everyone. I've finished filming, editing and am currently rendering the knitting tutorial. The quality's not that great, but please bear in mind that it's my first time uploading anything to YouTube, It's a bit lengthy at 20 mins, and I could really use constructive feedback.
Thanks!

Delay

So, I've decided to delay in starting production of the first knitting video as my mother is working from home and is in the main living area instead of the office, though to be fair the cat's litter box is in there so...

Karolyn's Kraft: Moving to YouTube Videos

Hello everyone. Sorry for the exceptionally lengthy delay. As of late I've rekindled my love of knitting and crocheting, so I'll be recording, editing, and uploading a video about cable stitch, knitting, and purling on YouTube. I don't know if anyone will watch, but I'll be doing it for fun.

As it's my first video, I ask that anyone watching, doesn't just trash my editing skills or lack of verbal confidence. Give me advice, help me improve so I can make content that more people enjoy.

Update!

Unfortunately, after completing my foundation year, I found my motivation lacking. Often finding myself away from the ceramic studio my professors and I decided it would be best if I chose a profession that keeps my interest and is something I enjoy. I will be opening an Etsy store with my business partner and we will be selling handmade items and shipping them all across North America.
Please follow the link provided for updates on the aforementioned shop.

First Step in My Online Journey

Hello, and welcome! My name is Karolyn Paige Rideout-Guptill, but I go by Paige. I am, as of March 16, 2014, twenty years of age. I am a woman who loves working with my hands, something I have always loved since I was a small child. A few interesting things of note about me:
-I love reading. My favourite book is written by John Wyndham entitled The Chrysalids.
-I am a fan of Dreamworks How to Train Your Dragon, based on the series by Cressida Cowell of the same name.
-I have dirty blonde-brown hair and blue eyes.
-I have a form of high-functioning autism called Asperger's Syndrome. I was diagnosed at the age of thirteen, which answered a lot of questions I had.
-I am an avid writer, and am currently working on a novel that I hope to one day publish.
I believe anyone can create beautiful works of art. My inspiration comes from anything that leaves most people annoyed, but for me makes me wonder. For example, when some people see a fellow person singing on the streets, they see someone who is desperate for attention, homeless, or otherwise in a bad situation. I, however, see the human behind the pain, and it inspires me to create anything that represents beauty from a trying time. To quote an ancient Chinese proverb, "The flower that blooms in adversity, is the most rare and beautiful of all."
