Knitted Kittens Craft Group

I'm still so busy so sorry blog posts have been slow to non-existent but I'm happy to report that I've nearly finished my first draft of my 4th chapter (Data Collection and Analysis) and I'm pretty happy with it so far. As this chapter has been formed from the opinions and perspectives of my participants it's been the most interesting to write by far and has come together really quickly.
Anyway here is another fabulous poster designed by Sophie Daniels for the next Knitted Kittens craft club.

 
I've been busy spending a lot of time on applications applying for jobs and sorting out my first three chapters so they can be assessed within the department and it pulled me out of working on my analysis, as a result I had become somewhat distant with my data. However, when I read the transcript for the Knitted Kittens focus group it really inspired me again and reminded me about all the great things in my study. It rekindled my passion and interest in the domain and since then my work has been coming together really easily. Knitted Kittens is the best thing that I have ever done for this study (maybe one of the best things I've done ever!) and I'm glad it's going to be with me when I have finished my research.

  1. Hi Kate,
    My name is Camilla. I am currently writing my MSc dissertation how how creative SMEs use social media to create awareness and how females aged 15 to 35 years old use social media and how they prefer creative SMEs to contact them. I can't seem to find an email address to contact you on so thought this would be the best way. I have seen the paper you have written called Crafting A Future Online but unfortunately I cannot view it through Emerald without having to pay.

    If you are interested at all please drop me an email on 1100518@rgu.ac.uk. I can imagine you would be a very interesting person to speak to about this area of research.

    Thanks for your time
    Regards
    Camilla
