KaJ9: Story

Just after I finished recording the podcast, I went out for a walk with Dash, listening to the most recent episode of Craft Lit.  It's number 127, Chapter 2 of The Scarlet Letter.  I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Heather Ordover promoting a contest (I think it's a contest) making an object from yarn and using the novel as inspiration.  I hadn't een considered that aspect of story.  Knitting a story from literature.  Of course! 

Edward Martin's music runs throughout this podcast.  Here is where to find his recordings:  http://magnatune.com/artists/edward_martin.  And here is information about his upcoming faculty concert:  http://css.edu/x923.xml. 

Non-knitter George sent me this link:   http://thestory.org/archive/the_story_736_A_Gift_Of_Hands.mp3/view.  This is APM's The Story, and episode titled A Gift of Hands.  I left the details out of the podcast because it is very interesting listening.  I encourage you to hear the story in the women's own voices.  You can also find The Story on iTunes, if you'd like to subscribe there.  And you can download from the site, of course. 

Eirka Mock's web site is here:  http://www.erikamock.com/.  If you are in the area or are giving thought to traveling in the area, I highly recommend an Erika Mock workshop.  Her teaching style is fluid and gentle.  If there are folks in the area interested in setting up a workshop with Erika, let me know.  I'm in. 

I did, indeed post a photo (though not a very good one) of the finished object I spoke of.  It's at the blog.  Start here: http://knitajourney.com/ and click on a Bit of Blogging. 

Please feel free to leave a comment here at the show notes.  You could also email me at [e-mail].  And on Ravelry, I'm susandolph.  I think I can link to me:  http://www.ravelry.com/people/susandolph.  But, I think you need to be signed in to Ravelry in order to follow the link.  You could send me a message there if you have input/questions/ideas.  I'm interested in your thoughts. 

Journey on.
