Armenian Knotted Lace Video, The First

I actually managed to do the video yesterday. Yes, I am surprised at myself as well. The kids were off in the afternoon with grandma and so I got everything together and made what will be the first in a short series of tutorials for Armenian knotted lace. This one is just getting started and teaches the Armenian knot stitch in a simple loop. I'm not going to tell you how many takes it took to get the video done, nor am I going to say how many were spoiled by cat and how many by my own cursing over mistakes. I just want to make sure that you know that I will be spacing out the videos a bit to keep my frustration level down.

So here is the video. You can find the it on Instructables too if you prefer. I hope that you find it helpful and it makes sense. I'm not sure what the next one will be on, likely a different stitch, but not sure which. No, I did not mean to rhyme that and I'm sorry.

Thank you! I'm busy with a load of knitting projects right now, but as soon as I'm done with them I'll try this.
Have a nice school break :)

Congratulations on your video! VERY nicely done. I'm in the middle of a wedding present right now, but you've definitely piqued my interest in giving this lace a shot. Looking forward to more!

Wow, this is fantastic! You make it sound and look so easy. I tried this on my own twice and never made any progress other than a tangled mess. I'm definitely going to give it another try. Got some tatting projects I really need to finish first, but I know where to find this when I can devote some time to learning. Thanks so much!

very nice video and very nice of you to share your skills. any chance of letting us see one of the cat outtakes - it's probably adorable - at least to us since we're not the videographers. thanks
(deleted the first - had to correct some errors)
