Aspire Media’s Knitting Daily TV is Back With All New Shows in 2010

Series 400 is now airing on public television stations nationwide

“Knitting Daily” TV is back with a brand new opening and 13 new episodes as the new Series 400 begins to air on public television stations this month. This season is marked by many exciting changes: Interweave Knits editor Eunny Jang is now the lead host of the show, joined by America’s Favorite Stitcher Shay Pendary and a new guest expert: author and designer Kristin Omdahl, who will be teaching the basics of crochet week by week in the new “Crochet Corner” segment. “Crochet Corner” joins other regular features: “Getting Started,” beginner tips and a brush up of basic knitting skills; “Designer Spotlight,” authors and designers with unique styles; and “How To,” more in-depth lessons on favorite techniques.

Throughout the new Series 400 viewers will find Eunny and Shay on location and in the studio teaching great knitting projects and techniques to make them better at their craft, while bringing interviews with top-notch designers and fiber world celebrities like Lily Chin, Linda Cortright, Carol Huber Cypher, Mags Kandis, Clara Parkes, and many more.

KnittingDailyTV.com is the online companion to the TV show. The site features video clips, episode recaps, patterns, interactive discussion, local TV schedules, and more.
