at lionbrand yarn studio . . again

we had another visit to lionbrand today (our last visit was to hear the discussion with artist robyn love) for m to film a meet me at the corner episode. donna guthrie is a writer who has created a wonderful website of three to four minute movies about children's lives in different corners of the US (composting worms at the queens botanical garden is currently up). donna is a lot of fun to work with and always picks an equally fun videographer (sometimes from craig's list . . which i'm old enough to find rather amusing. )


i couldn't resist snapping some fiber photos in the store . .

the store manager, patty lyons, was very relaxed while filming, and spoke well. she and m had fun chatting about gauge and hooks and yarn weight, while crocheting for the B roll. it's not easy staying loose for the camera, and many of donna's subjects forget what answers they want to give once they're being filmed. m and i have discussed it at length . . why is it that the world suddenly changes when the camera is on?
