Happy 2012! I don't think the world is going to end anytime soon so we might as well keeping living and doing what we do. It's a new year with new goals. I'm not going to bore you with my personal resolutions of weight loss, spending more quality time with my mom, break dancing and increased bike riding. We're not here to talk about that. As far as the Yarn Graffiti Documentary goes the goal for the year is to wrap up primary production. To wrap up production the Yarn Graffiti Doc team is working around the clock to get money to finish this movie.
Another big resolution is to make sure to keep all of you updated through this blog. I've let this blog fall to the wayside. I promise to stay on top of this.
The holidays were good to me in strange way, (I love my family) but bad for the documentary. For 2 weeks I didn't really think about it. I'm happy to be back to normal life where I think about this documentary all day long like a monkey on my back.
I'm back to work on the doc! More coming soon.
It's been busy here at Yarn Graffiti documentary production central. John and I have been busy working on promoting our Indiegogo campaign and working on the Texas Filmmaker Production Fund, Cinereach, along with ITVS grant applications. I feel like we have a better chance at TFPF than ITVS but we are guaranteed to not get anything if we don't apply.
In the last month or so my documentary has gotten a little bit of attention, specifically in the blog world. All this attention makes me feel amazing. It's as if the bloggers has given me their stamp of approval.

and many more. I've been noticing that a lot of the blogs like to repost from each other. Tree Hugger seems to be a trend setting in the blog world. It's crazy but it feels really good. I won't say too much more but there have been talks with TrendStop, The Guardian, and Time Magazine about doing a story about the documentary.
Many many people have tweeted about the doc and I really appreciate everything. Thanks to @KnittingNews, @ModernKnitting, @LaughingSquid, @knittyattitude, @knittaporfavor, @emperorsclothes, @CrochetBlogger, @StitchLily, @StreetBandits, , @ @ and many more.
On top of all the blogs and tweets, I've been on Austin's KOOP Radio FM91.7 talking about my documentary. Unfortunately they don't archive their shows otherwise I would have shared my part here. It was really fun and since, I've been invited on Sherry Mills's show every week since to kind of keep her company.
Long story short, things are good for the documentary. Thanks for all the support.
