I'm an unemployed illustration graduate.
In March 2008 I started making stop-motion animations in my boyfriend's spare bedroom, and I haven't looked back since.
I have a blog about teaching myself stop-motion and the techniques involved:

I'm excited to see how the copper wire knitting will go - I've heard of lining fabrics with tin foil, but I'm a little shy of doing that - definitely want options though! I posted a picture of a blanket I knit last year, took about 3 or 4 months including making the pattern.
Yeah cumbria rocks but i was in lancashire yesterday on my bike, lovely place, full of sheep (Like cumbria). My dads a sheep farmer, we have about 400 of the wooly monsters...he he

Sorry, I now realise you are from Cumbria - an even more wonderful part of the world than Lancashire (you have bigger hills and even more sheep)!
I never would've guessed it was one light - it's really crisp, sharp.
I can knit, but never picked up crochet! I think I want to give my next character something knit just for the heck of it - do you use a wire armature inside the characters, or anything on the yarn to animate the surface?

Thanks :) I've been crocheting for about 8 years. My mum taught me when I was 18. All my animations are lit using just one cheap angle-poise desk lamp with a 60w daylight simulation bulb. I'm glad it seems to be working!
Hey, thanks for the comments :) I really love your characters - how long've you been knitting/crocheting? The lighting is really beautiful in your videos!
