I was happily sitting in the Phoenix airport, getting to know Michelle Hunter of Knit Purl Hunter fame, when along came a cameraman for a local TV news program. New airline regulations are going into effect and he wanted to interview me about them. Always game for a good rant, I said yes! The cameraman was the nicest guy ever, and seemed intrigued by the idea that someone might actually have to travel for knitting (hard to explain TNNA, isn’t it?!). When I whipped out my iPad with the rough draft of my book, he exclaimed, “But you’re so high tech!” Little does he know what a bright bunch we knitters are. Cutting edge all the way!
The interview aired on Wednesday evening on Phoenix 3TV News, on the 3 On Your Side segment. I’m at the beginning and end. You can watch it here:
Congrats! Nice plug for your knitting business, and I agree with your comments. Truth in advertising has been a phrase around for a long time. Good of them to actually do it. Now they need to do the same for the car rental system. 🙂 You looked great, by the way, so calm and collected in the face of a surprise interview. Well done.
Great job with the interview! Showing you knitting while you wait in the airport without any link to the topic of the interview is soooo cool!!! Way to go! I agree with Chris, you do look cool and collected. Really good!
