FILM YOUR DESTINY
Err, make a video of you knitting to the tunes of the song “Distorted” by Palesloth
Find your ghettoblaster, play the song, press rec and knit like there’s no tomorrow. Or build a storyline and edit the song in afterwards. We don’t care. Anything goes as long as you put on a good show.
A few rules though:
• Maximum video length is 1 minute
• You need to use the song we’ve picked (any part of the song is okay)
• You must do knitting on the video.
• You yourself must perform on the video (extras and other actors are allowed too).
• The video must be uploaded to YouTube, so that you can provide us with a link to it.
• Age limit for the competition is 18.
