Teach Knitting or Any Other Crafts via IM with One-Way Video Chat
Brian Sawyer at Hackszine shows us some cool tips on how we can optimize our iChat to send one-way video that's perfect to teach crafting techniques such as knitting.
Brian says:
For example, crafts like knitting are notoriously hard to teach without visual cues, and even the most detailed books often suffer from their lack of moving pictures. When I learned to knit, I used books as a crutch, but actually learning required sitting next to my mother-in-law to see how it was done. Even now, when I hit a roadblock with a new technique, I need to wait till the next time we're together. But if we had a feature like this, we likely wouldn't have to wait. I could just "look over her shoulder" as she described what she was doing.
Check out Brian's video as well as technical tips on how you can do this too. Link.

Spool Knitting 101
Diane of CraftyPod has gotten me facinated with spool knitting with her post which has lots of photos of the process. Diane says, "This type of knitting, sometimes called corking, is familiar to Girl Scouts and schoolkids the world over, and yields thin, hollow tubes of knitting. They can be used for trim, of course, but I'm convinced there's more uses lurking in the back of my brain. The simplicity of the whole thing is just so cool to me." Link.
