Signature Needle Arts Announces Sponsorship of Knitting Daily TV on PBS

Feb. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- Kenosha, WI: Signature Needle Arts is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the new second season of public television’s “Knitting Daily TV,” a contemporary knitting and needle crafts show that is now airing on more than 200 PBS stations nationwide in 45 percent of the U.S. market. This PBS magazine-format TV series launched in June 2008 as a makeover of “Needle Arts Studio” with Shay Pendray, the first and longest-running program on public television to focus on the needle arts.

Cathryn Bothe, President of Signature Needle Arts visits with Kim and introduces the essentials for swatching and getting gauge by changing your needle size in episode 204.  

“Knitting Daily TV” is hosted by a cast of popular personalities: knitting expert Eunny Jang, ace crocheter Kim Werker, spinning and weaving fiberista Liz Gipson, and America’s favorite stitcher Shay Pendray. The 30-minute themed episodes cover a variety of yarn and needle crafts—from knitting and crochet to stitching, felting, weaving and spinning—and guide viewers in learning to make fun yet smart one-of-a-kind designs using the latest products in yarn and fiber.

Industry experts and renowned designers appear in each episode and join the “Knitting Daily TV” team to bring fiber fans great projects for the beginner to advanced, updates on tools and materials, in-depth technique tutorials, and creative ideas.

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. In addition, “Knitting Daily TV” has a presence on Facebook and many of the segments are available to watch on YouTube.  

“Knitting Daily TV” is produced by KS Inc. Productions. The second season is sponsored in part by Interweave Press, YarnMarket.com, Fiesta/Ironstone Yarns, WEBS, Tahki Stacy Charles, TNNA, Blue Sky Alpaca, Ashford Handicrafts, Bagsmith, Berroco, Blue Sky Alpacas, Classic Elite, Colorful Stitches, Harrisville Designs, Lorna's Laces, MyHandworkStudio.com, Prism Arts, Signature Needles, Spinning and Weaving Association, Tutto-Opal Isager, and Trendsetter.
