I finally did it. I finally got that video I'd meant to get uploaded uploaded.
A few years ago I decided that I wanted to create a YouTube channel of me making various of my yarny projects. But, I have no real video-making skills. Well, the best way to learn something is to do it, even if I do it badly, so I began.
(My brother has been kind enough to do the editing, so at least they're put together well.)
Summer 2023 I had some time to make some videos. Three of them. The first two were uploaded over this past summer. And the third is here, now.
What am I making? I call it the tablet buddy (you can purchase the pattern either on Etsy or on Ravelry). It's a thing to prop up your cell phone, your ereader, or your tablet. They look like this:
At least, this is like the one I made on camera. This is the small size. The phone can be leaned against the pyramid, and there's a line of bobbles to keep it from sliding down.
Anyway, here's the video:
It is an hour and thirteen minutes long, so I don't expect anyone to watch the thing all the way through (unless you plan on making one of these).
The next thing I need to do is to create a good title image as none of my videos have one right now. Little by little I'm getting this channel up and running. (I have started shooting a new video, but at the rate I'm going, it'll be a while before I get it finished, let alone uploaded.)
Slow but you are making it happen and that’s what counts.
ReplyDeleteI just wish I was working more quickly. But yeah, at least I'm making some progress.
DeleteYou do what you can. Progress is progress, right?
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteThat looks great. It might be slow starting but once it's all set up it'll be great!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteMy mom still loves her big one.
ReplyDeleteThey do last a long time.
DeleteI don't watch a lot of long videos on my phone, but I can see how handy these pyramids would be for those who do. They are cute too!
ReplyDeleteOr just to prop up your phone wherever you happen to set it. It makes it easier to see, like when an alert goes off you can see it rather than having to pick it up.
DeleteNice to see your YouTube channel. Living in a hot tropical region, I'm not likely to take much interest in yarns and knitting, though.
ReplyDeleteI don't generally knit sweaters and such as I live in a fairly warm climate as well.
DeleteWell done Liz - it's good to have a new project and one that you're learning from ... I admire you. Good luck - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThat's great you're figuring out your YouTube videos. Having your brother help with editing must be really helpful.
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteYeah for another video! This pyramid looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteCongrats on knitting this and love the colour! It looks great
ReplyDeleteThanks.
