Seven Steps to Learning Photography

Being a photographer is a great profession. You travel and have the chance to meet and shoot many people. Your pictures can touch many people and leave an impact. However there are a few small things you should remember when dealing with photography. Just seven points which can help make you a better photographer.

The first point is rather simple, keep a notebook. This way you can keep track of your clients and what supplies and tools you may need. Second, always carry your camera. Frequently, take pictures of everything and anything. You are always learning about photography. Whether it is lighting and shade and perception you are always learning with your camera. This also helps build confidence in your photography. The camera should be an extension of you.

The third pointer is to shoot in different conditions. Always be diverse with what it is you shoot with your camera. Shoot the sunrise or shoot people or activities. Always have a feel for many different visual subjects. Take note in your note book what you have learned.

Always remember to set goals. This is the fourth pointer for photography. Is there something you haven't done yet with your camera? Then shoot it. A certain technique you would want to perfect or learn. This is where you start to publish your work for others to see.

The fifth pointer is to remember to read. A photographer reads about the trade. There are many books on the subject of photography. Always have a new book to read so you can always be ready to learn something new. Especially with the internet there is lots of information available at your fingertips. News about new cameras and photograph technology is always available.

Number six is to ask questions. No one is perfect. Travel around, find other photographers and then ask questions. Examine other artist's work and see what others may do with their work and compare it with your own.

The final pointer to always remember is to change your perspective. Don't just shoot things from a basic angle or point of view. Common pictures are common in this industry. Always try and maintain a new and evolving style. If you can vary your perspective, you will be able to capture the moment with that feel of a pictures.

In the end always remember no matter how good you are there will always be a better photographer out there so learn from them and prepare to excel!

Rewarding the best performances in the international game of show business

"I liked getting the best villain award. I thought that was funny – Stephen Dorff" No one likes to play the bad guy, and every one wants to be the good guy but that cannot happen every time. Some one has to fill in the shoes of the toughest acts involved in the toughest game in the world which is called Hollywood. There are many talented actors in the world who work till they drop to get to the point where they want to be. Most people who play the part of the bad guy have to shut their own identity away and assume the persona that they have to reflect into the screen of the movie theaters.  This is known as method acting which helps actors assume different identities in the different roles they play. It is the hardest thing to shut your own identity away and become a whole new person who is not you. This is a tough game to master but those who achieve the highest peaks deserve to be commended for their years of hard work they put into their work. The award designers take this fact into consideration when they make a specialized trophy for the deserving candidates who are going to be apprised in the worlds view.

The big question is when you picture a villain in your own mind the image comes of a horrifying demon who would consume any one that comes in their path. This is not far from the truth, because they personify the worst of human characters like greed, lust, and hunger for power, ego and many other attributes that brings out the worst in us. They are the kind of people who have a negative effect on any one that comes into their proximity.  This is the kind of persona that many successful stereotypes of Hollywood have taken that represent the anti- social elements of society. Molding ones persona into such a negative state can be a hard task at times, which the professionals of Hollywood perform after years of training. This is the kind of amazing effort that deserves to be commended by the world because it is the negative character of the plot builds the whole movie around his character. After all, there can't be a movie without a powerful villain in the mists. These wonderful actors are not really bad in real life, just merely playing the part. The best in the showbiz industry are promoted and brought into the eyes of the public through the Gala Hollywood events. The award design is developed by the best technology and different materials which makes the item very valuable to the one who is at the receiving end.

Dear Santa, this year I would like a videogame

There are many weeks left until Christmas, but those who have a passion for videogames already know what to ask Santa for: in the next few months, indeed, many interesting videogames will be released.

The offer of videogames to be released soon is very wide and varied and will be able to match all tastes: both if you love soccer videogames and if you prefer those games that are focused on Formula 1 and races in general, in the next few months you will be really spoilt for choice, non to speak about the games that have wars and battles as a main subject. The offer will get at its heart in November, so that videogame fans can write their letters to Santa, but we can claim that many interesting videogames have already appeared on the shelves of specialised shops. This is the case, for example, of Forza Motorsport 4, which was released in the States on the 11th of October and in Europe on the 14th. The fans of this game and of this type of driving simulators have already had the possibility to test all the novelties of this new chapter of the series and get to know the 500 cars that are at the players' disposal. And the people who have already played this game seem to be satisfied: Forza Motorsport 4 is at the top of the chart of the best-selling games in the United Kingdom.

But if the fans of this games have already got what they wanted, many other players and fans of other videogames are still waiting. One of the most awaited videogames is Mario Kart 3DS, the 7th chapter of the series, which is supposed to have many novelties, first of all a major personalisation of the karts. Like the precedent episodes, Mario Kart 7 will be animated by some of the traditional characters of the series, like Mario and Luigi. But the category of driving simulators is really fruitful, and another evidence of this is given by Need for Speed: The Run, which will be released in November. The new episode of Need for Speed will be available for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Microsoft Windows, Wii, Nintendo 3DS and mobile phones. A game that was already born few weeks ago is F1 20011, the videogame focused on the Formula 1 Championship that has already been positively described by those who have already played it. F1 2011, indeed, has been improved in comparison to the precedent editions and has some novelties: the safety car (just like in a real Formula 1 race), the possibility for up to 16 players to play together (not 12 like in the past), Pirelli tires instead of Bridgestone, a renewed AI of competitors, a bigger realism as far as car damages and tire consumption are concerned, and the red flag for the race suspension.

So, have you already chosen which game you want to ask Santa for Christmas?

This game is great for people who love history because you get to go back and change it or repeat it and then enjoy the results.

Another game is by Sega of America Inc who brings you Thor the God of Thunder, a game that is all about the god Thor who tries to defeat the Norse gods as he uses his mythical strengths and skills to do it.

Both games use lots of fight sequences and themes that center around fighting and violence and adventure so maybe this is the game for you.

Lastly, Gundam Crossfire is ny Namco and it is all about war in the future where high tech type lasers and other devices are used to command and fight down various things so that you can attack and halt and gather and dash and do a number of other things while you fight the Zeon forces and at the same time update and customize yourself.

Peter Frampton reviewed by Dwight Hobbes

Peter Frampton

Dwight Hobbes/TC Daily Planet

If Sept. 30th's concert at Minneapolis's State Theatre is any indication, '70s superstar Peter Frampton's still got it. He had it when he played at the same venue as part of the 1997 incarnation of Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band. Swinging through the Twin Cities on his Frampton Comes Alive! 35 Tour, the historic rock idol clearly hasn't been sitting around gathering dust all these years and, indeed, plays better than ever before—cleaner, subtler and with startling imagination. He scarcely played a predictable note all night and did it with passion.

Back when his career-defining album hit LP (weren't no CDs in them days, barely even cassettes), Frampton Comes Alive! charted an incredible 97 weeks. After coasting on that success, he summarily subsided into has-been oblivion, eventually returning with 2006's Grammy-award winning instrumental album Fingerprints. Last year, he released Thank You Mr. Churchill and, if his re-emergence can't be called a huge comeback, Peter Frampton—moving discs, drawing howling crowds—certainly is doing one hell of a good job of hanging on.

Frampton dedicated the first half of his three-hour set to excellently performing the Frampton Comes Alive! album, delighting a not-quite sold out crowd to delirium. A nice touch was his humorously self-deprecating banter between numbers. An annoyance was his encouraging sing-alongs for "Baby, I Love Your Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do"—over-a-thousand voices, only about 3 of them on key, mangling a melody you'd much rather hear the star sing. The other shortcoming was his half-assed vocal on what otherwise would've been a fine cover of "Jumpin' Jack Flash." 

You had to wonder what he was going to follow with after the intermission. It turned out to be a killer finish, including beautiful instrumentals, a visitation of material from his old band Humble Pie's "Four Day Creep." He also did "Shine On" in the first half and a gorgeous encore, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" that gave up absolutely nothing to Eric Clapton's eternally lauded guitar solo on The Beatles (that's the actual title of the famous The White Album). Frampton is never going to make Jeff Beck nervous, but he inarguably acquits himself as a master musician.

The screen behind Frampton and his band at the beginning of the show was a little odd, which displayed images from his heyday. It gave the impression this was principally going to be a night of the rock star reliving his baby-faced, golden-locked glory. Glancing back and forth from the montage to the spry old geezer up on-stage after awhile, well, it just got weird. After about a half-hour, though, the backdrop changed to a vintage, acid-worthy light show, making it a lot easier to just sit there and enjoy Peter Frampton playing his ass off. Which he did all the way up until he sent everyone home with an experience to well remember him by.

Enjoying the Melbourne Cup in Sydney

Known as the race that stops the country, the Melbourne Cup is Australia's most famous horse race. Held just before 3 pm on the first Tuesday in November at the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, the race is celebrated around the country - both on and off the field.

The Melbourne Cup has been an Australian tradition since the inaugural race in 1861. Today, it is more than a race, with Melbourne Cup celebratory lunches and Fashion of the Fields as much a part of the celebration as the race itself. It also remains one of the richest races in the world, with the total prize money for the 2010 race totaling A$6 million.

If you're in Sydney on Tuesday, November 1st, make sure you get amongst the celebrations. Although the race is held in Melbourne (it's even a public holiday there!), it is still widely celebrated in its neighbouring city. In most (if not all!) pubs, restaurants and cafés in the city the race is aired and celebratory lunches are hosted.

One of the best parts about the horse race is trying to pick the winner! At whichever pub or restaurant you choose to watch at, there are a number of sweepstakes going. And don't forget one of the most important elements to the day – ‘Fashions on the Field'. Even if you're not at the race itself, it's a great excuse to get spruced up for the day. Fascinators, hats and head pieces are the order of the day for the ladies, and suits are a must for the gentlemen. Dressing up is a nice homage to the lasting elegance of the race day.

If you're in Sydney and craving some on-field action, Randwick Racecourse also hosts a Melbourne Cup Day, where they live stream all the action from Melbourne and host races of their own.

If you're planning to be in Sydney for Melbourne Cup and are looking for accommodation, Sydney has a number of hotels that can help you organise a race day celebration. Your Sydney hotel might even be hosting a celebration or lunch of its own!

Melbourne Cup is a fun and festive day Australia-wide, so make sure if you're in the country at the time you get involved!

Autumn film releases

In time like every autumn the beginning of the cinema season brings many new movies. From science fiction to art films, from now on and until Christmas cinemas will be invaded by many movies, for all tastes.

Following the interest awoken by this new way of making movies, many of the films that we will enjoy soon will be 3D films, like in the case of Hugo Cabret, by Martin Scorsese, and Final Destination 5, the latest chapter of the famous series. Scorsese's movie is a transposition of Brian Selznick's novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret and tells the story of a little orphan named Hugo Cabret, who lives in Paris Station. His adventures begin when he meets a girl, a broken robot and the owner of a toyshop. Final Destination 5, by Steven Quale, belongs to another genre: a mix of horror and thriller which will be appreciated by the fans of the series, and not only by them.

Very interesting are also some animated movies for children: some of the most interesting ones are Puss in Boots, spin-off of much appreciated Shrek 2, and Arrietty, a Japanese movie inspired by The Borrowers, the characters that were born of the imagination of British author Mary Norton. A special mention is also due to another animated movie, which will certainly be appreciated also by adults, especially by those who used to like the comics that have inspired the movie: The Adventures of Tintin - Secret of the Unicorn is the first movie taken by the famous comics created by Belgian author Hergé, and Steven Spielberg is the director.

From productions to directions Spielberg appears as one of the protagonists of this cinema season: as producer, Spielberg worked for much awaited films like Cowboys & Aliens by Jon Favreau, Real Steel by Shawn Levy and Super 8 by J.J. Abrams. All these films are connected by the fil rouge of science fiction, which is something typical of Spielberg's style: if Cowboys & Aliens can be described as a mix of genres (western and science fiction first of all), Real Steel combines action, science fiction and drama telling about the arrival of robots in the field of boxing. Last but not least, Super 8 mixes thriller and science fiction, and it has awakened a great interest since the first projection of its trailer during the Super Bowl.

Another long-awaited movie that we cannot but speak about is Breaking Dawn, the latest chapter of Twilight, much-awaited by millions of kids, and Sherlock Holmes's second episode, titled A Game of Shadows.

Among all these American productions also some very interesting Italian movies stand out, like This must be the place by Italian director Paolo Sorrentino, stannring Sean Penn, and Emanuele Crialese's Terraferma. Both movies are already getting themselves positively talked about, as the first one won the ecumenical award at Cannes Festival, while the second one was awarded during the Venice Festival with the special jury prize and was also chosen as the Italian representative to compete for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

If a children&#039;s book is appreciated also by the grown-up

Often considered as a subcategory only addressed to younger readers, children's books are recently achieving a great success also among those people who are not children anymore. The most outstanding and striking evidence of this is probably given by Harry Potter, the magician that was born of the imagination of J.K. Rowling and that has become a cult book not only for children, but also for older readers. The fans of the magician do not only include children and kids that are reading their first novels, but also older and very often expert readers. Last but not least, Harry Potter's deeds have also become the subject of university courses and thesis.

The interest excited by Rowling's works on all the ages is actually only the tip of the iceberg, an iceberg that also includes the Fantasy genre (the Lord of the Rings first of all) and authors that are considered as classics of literature tout court, not only of children's literature. Roald Dahl's works, for example: adored by various generations of children, the books written by the British writer – of Norwegian origin – are very funny to read also if you are adult. It is no coincidence that many of the books written by Dahl have been transposed into wonderful movies which are as much appreciated by adults as by children, like in the case of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (in both the transposition, the most recent one by Tim Burton and the one by Mel Stuart of 1971) and in the case of Fantastic Mr Fox.

One might ask why these works, which are catalogued as children's literature, are increasingly appreciated also by the grown-up. Some might say that this is due to a sort of regressive behaviour or that this is a type of unpretentious divertissement. In fact the reason why these books are so appreciated also by adults is because they are well-written, gripping, amusing and moving, which means that they have many of the peculiarities that you look for when you read a book. Consider, for example, Roald Dahl's works: few books have the same sense of humour and sarcasm that characterize books like Matilda, The Twits or The BFG, and I defy any adult to read a few pages of these or other Dahl's novels without having a good laugh. Moreover, the excellent use of words and the techniques that these writers use to keep the readers' interest alive waiting for what will happen in the next chapter are ageless. Certainly plots, which are often very imaginative and sometimes unreal, are contrary to the perception or reality that (many) adults have developed with the passing of time, which might make it difficult for some readers to identify with characters. However, emotions, considerations and the messages conveyed by some of these excellent children's books authors can really be considered as universal, and for this reason many children's books can be appreciated also by those who only have a dreaming memory of their childhood.

Certainly also in the field of children's literature generalizations should not be made, and we cannot claim that all the children's books have the capacity to involve everybody, but if you happen to read a book belonging to your child or to your little brother or sister which immediately attracts your attention, do not worry: you are not getting involved in a children's story, but simply in a good book.

When you are hiring a marriage dance band it's ordinarily best to go for a band that plays recent hits that interest the more youthful audience coupled with vintage songs that the older guests will delight in.

How To Find Dance Classes For Preschoolers

Today's children take part in a number of activities. From story time at the library, to soccer, to gymnastics, parents of preschoolers are often finding their kids fun things to do. If your little girl or boy is interested in dance classes, there are a few things to think about before you sign them up.

Do You Want Mommy (Or Daddy) And Me Or Kid Only Classes

Many schools that offer lessons have a number of them to choose from. If your child is very small, you'll likely be looking for a class that incorporates parents into each lesson. Parents will be expected to get up and dance with their child so this is not the class for moms and dads who want to sit back and watch.

Once a child is around three or four, it's more common for them to take the lesson with a group of children their ages and an instructor. In some studios, parents are invited to watch behind a one way mirror, but don't be concerned if you're asked to sit in a waiting area and are unable to watch. Many studios find that children are too easily distracted if they see their parents so it's quite normal for parents to be out of sight during classes. Many studios have a special class where moms and dads can see what their children have been learning, in addition to a recital at the end of the year.

What Kind Of Dance Lessons Are You Looking For

Are you simply looking for a ballet class or lessons that combine a ballet class with other forms of dance, such as tap? These combination lessons often prove to be an excellent introduction to this art form. A combination lesson lets the student, parents and teachers determine where a student might excel, and more importantly, lets the student try out all forms of classes before choosing the form that they might want to continue with, as they get older.

Look For A Dedicated School

Some schools offer only dance classes, such as a ballet class, tap, hip hop or jazz, while others might be held in a local community center that offers different types of lessons. A ballet class in a local community center can be fine at first, but if your child wants to progress in dance classes, you might run into being forced to leave and go to a dedicated school. Finding a dedicated school in the beginning can save you a lot of hassle and problems since your child won't need to get used to new teachers, new students and new classroom rules. A dedicated school may also have more time options for classes, something that is vitally necessary if you're a working parent.

Dance lessons are ideal for preschoolers. They provide a little bit of structure and introduce kids to important life skills like teamwork and dedication and can instill a sense of working hard to succeed. Lessons also help ease preschoolers into rules like paying attention and listening to a teacher, which are important skills as they move towards elementary school.

3 Types Of Dance Classes To Keep Kids In Shape

As the nationwide obesity epidemic peaks, many parents are looking for ways to keep their children in shape. Soccer, football, gymnastics and other sports are popular, but there's another option for parents and children alike. Dancing can help keep kids active, but if you're looking into dance classes for your children, you might be wondering which type of class is best for you. Here are three different options. Each type has its own personality and style so choose carefully to determine which one is right for your child.

Ballet Classes For Kids

Ballet classes are some of the most popular types of dance classes for children. Here, children will learn proper ballet positions, terminology and classroom etiquette. Ballet classes help instill confidence in students and they teach poise, grace and discipline. Although many people think of ballet classes as something that's strictly for girls, young boys can also benefit greatly from these dance lessons. Some boys who take ballet do so to improve their coordination and many parents remember hearing about the NFL teams whose members took ballet classes to help improve their performance on the football field. Boys typically need to wear a T-shirt and tights, while girls need a leotard and tights. Girls also need to have their hair pulled back in a bun. Both boys and girls need special shoes - regular street shoes or shoes designed for other forms won't do. As students become more advanced, girls may advance to using 'pointe' shoes, but it's fairly rare for boys to wear these special shoes.

Jazz Lessons For Kids

Jazz dance lessons are another option for parents looking to help their kids stay active. Jazz incorporates a number of different styles, such as ballet, and is influenced by popular jazz music. This type of dancing is energetic and is guaranteed to get children up and moving. The movements can be grand and exaggerated and oftentimes dancers are encouraged to add their own personality into the movements. Students usually need to wear body-hugging clothing, such as tight shorts or pants and shirts, so instructors can see the lines of the dancer's body. Special jazz shoes are required, but there are many different types, so talk to your child's instructor before purchasing a pair.

Hip Hop Lessons For Kids

Hip hop dance lessons are some of the newest dance lessons in the industry. Children will learn some of the hottest moves to current music. Hip hop dancers are laid back and students usually need to be a little older to participate in these dance lessons because they need to be able to pay attention to the instructor and focus on the movements. Students don't need any sort of special attire and instead can wear everyday loose fitting clothing and gym shoes.

Dancing is an excellent way for children to stay active. If you're looking for a way to keep your kids moving, but you want an alternative to traditional sports like football, basketball or soccer, dancing can be fun for kids of all ages.

Planning A Vegas Theme Party

It's time to put yourself out there and be creative with your parties. If you have the budget and the ideas, there are professional theme party companies that will organize your entire occasion from the ground up. Not only can they provide the products, but they can provide trained people to work the party. Planning a Vegas theme party is just one hot theme party idea. Let the professionals help plan an authentic Vegas blow out for your next party and your guests are bound to have a blast.

 

Vegas is the place to go when you want to have a party that doesn't stop until you say so right? Clubs don't close, the women are scantily clad and the casinos are always welcoming players to try their luck. Bringing this to your party is no problem for a party planner.

 

Planners will come up with decorating ideas that look just like Vegas. You may not be able to plan a large scale party in Vegas but you can still entertain on a smaller scale while making a big impact. The lights, the glitter the poker tables, the cards and whatever else you can think of that is going to make you feel like you are in Las Vegas can be there. Furthermore, they can hire staff to be casino dealers. Beautiful burlesque women, professionally dressed dealers, even male adult dancers!

 

The location can be wherever you want. Whether you are looking to throw a party at your house, or rent out a venue it is a possibility for you to do. Take a house party for example, you can decorate it however you like and have a 24 hour party. If you are going to rent out a venue though, you might have to cut the party short because some venues close at a certain time but you may have a more spacious layout that could be more appealing to guests and easier for clean up purposes.

 

Music can be themed and picked out by the planners with you as well. You can get the full Vegas night life experience right down to the music. A live DJ can be hired, or even an old fashioned string quartet would do nicely.

 

Dress code can be fun because you can plan to where men have to wear tuxedos and women have to wear gowns. You are the party holder so of course you will be shopping for your outfit with the planner. They can provide options and suggestions for you to choose from until you find the perfect fit.

 

Any questions you may have, specific needs or stresses can all be taken care of by a planner. Remember that their career revolves around planning parties so everything will be perfect for you.

Planning a Christmas Party and Choosing a Christmas Party Venue

When planning a party and choosing a Christmas party venue, the main purpose is to put up a relaxing environment which at the same time opens the door for your guests to savour the spirit of the festivity. Choose the right colour scheme and the proper Yuletide centrepiece. The aura of the season: logs crackling in the fireplace, snow falling covering the landscape, the expectation of Saint Nick, aroma associated with Christmas, the yummy taste of newly-baked cookies. Your decoration increases the senses of smell and taste to bring back good memories, as well as, creating new memories for family and guests. You must try these recipes: Christmas Castle, Christmas Cookie Tree, Ginger Shortbread Delights and Mocha Nog. Festive centre pieces are easy to make. Silver Star atop a tiny Christmas tree is a good one or candles positioned beside glasses and plates are eye-catching centrepieces.

Like any project, successful parties have to be planned. After deciding on the Christmas party venue, send invitations at least three weeks ahead of schedule. This way, you will know how many guests are committed to attend. Invitations include: date, time and place; enumerate the food that will be served whether light fare or heavy dinner. 

Menu includes appetizers and sweet treats you can prepare in advance. You can even concoct recipes and place them in fridge a few days ahead. Do not try new recipes, better stick to your masterpiece. Finger foods do not require much dinnerware. If you prefer to serve food that require forks and knives; then prepare for a sit down affair. To save on washing and cleaning up dishes, opt for a nice- looking plastic ware that would be thrown away after in the trash box.

Proper placement will decrease traffic flow of guests. Bar is placed near ice and water. Plates with platters of finger foods and buffets are placed on entertainment area. Prepare adequate number of chairs so most of your guests are seated. Scatter trash cans inconspicuously in eating area for scraps to be disposed.

Music can enliven any occasion so play an appropriate back ground. With lighted candles all over the place, Christmas spirit is in the air. You might prepare a guest book for guests to write a holiday message. Singing Christmas carols is a beautiful finale.  And don't forget party favours for the guests like an ornamented bag filled with candies or cookies or a candy cane with a red bow. 

Your invitations are the first impressions you give your guests so make one that makes an impression. Don't rely on phone calls or buy invitation cards. Make one using the party theme as background. A personal touch is a photo of your party last year or your family dressed in holiday attire. The artistic family member might draw nativity scene which your computer can print in cards. You can set the mode by using a holiday music CD and writing party details on its label and deliver inside a bubble-wrap envelope. An invitation with hand-crafted style is awesome. Buy holiday stamps in conjunction with your theme to custom- make your invitations. If however, you are too busy to make one, buy nice note cards and handwrite your invitation in black ink.

Boxing Day is Christmas celebration in merry old England. This occasion gave workmen in old England time to celebrate the occasion. Decorate table with pine boughs, holly, mistletoe and other symbols of the Season. Wrap small boxes with metallic and holiday papers and décor and offer small gifts for guests to open after dinner. Write invitation on piece of paper and fold it then place in a small wrapped box to hand-deliver to guest. Include in menu - English toffee.

On red-letter day ensure that everything is ship-shape. Anticipate guests comfort by placing appetizers all over living room and buffet table. Play music and light candles for Yuletide ambiance. Greet your guests and place their belonging inside closet. Introduce them t o each other. Accept gifts graciously and place in discreet place. Mix with your guest and enjoy the party. Christmas parties are not only for guests but for you. When hosting Christmas Events in Staffordshire you can look into venues like the Keele Salvin Suite as it is a very appropriate Christmas party venue for all kinds of people.

Knitting Guilds

Knitting is the creation of knit fabric using a minimum of two needles and yarn. While this hobby is now often labeled as "women's work", at certain points in history, knitting was a man's job. Historically, women were responsible for the knit items worn by themselves and their family.

During the Middle Ages, professional guilds were formed in which only men could participate. Thus the knit items made by women were officially relegated to items to be worn at home, while items knit by the male guild members were suitable for sale. Young boys would be apprenticed to a master knitter, and through several years of work and instruction, would gain the knowledge required to be a master knitter.

Though women were barred from entering this profession on their own, there were some exceptions to the rules. A woman may be allowed entry into a knitting guild if her husband, a master knitter, left her a widow with no means of supporting herself. Her work also had to pass the quality standards set forth by the guild.

Modern guilds do not have an application process, and few require fees to join. However, members are expected to pay for materials given to them in classes. Fortunately, the knitting guilds of the modern world do not have such barriers to entry. Knitting guilds, and other fiber-craft related guilds, focus more on friendship, teaching, and promoting the fiber arts. A typical guild meets about once a month, and typically has classes or sessions on specific topics for guild members. For instance, during one month, a guild may have a guest speaker on wool yarn, and the next month have a workshop devoted to dyeing yarn. Guilds also serve as a base for knitting groups, where people simply meet to knit and socialize.

Guilds today do not have the same barriers of entry as the guilds of the past; one will not be barred entry into a guild because of their age or gender. Oftentimes, a beginning knitter does not even know about the existence of a knitting or fiber art related guild in their area. Because of this, many guilds advertise in local yarn shops, or hold demonstrations at local craft fairs, farmers markets, or other public events.

It is very important for a new knitter to seek out a guild as they provide many benefits. Upon joining a guild, a beginner knitter will instantly have access to more advanced knitters who can help and troubleshoot their knitting issues. Guilds provide the lectures and classes at a fraction of the cost of what a store or knitting teacher would charge for the same lesson. The guild may also have their own lending library, where members can borrow books, patterns and even equipment. Finally, a guild provides a knitter with an outlet to find other knitters.
