echo knits

Hi, and welcome to the new home of echo knits.

For a little while, I used to blog at wordpress.com, but I was a sporadic poster at best. This is my attempt at a new site, coupled with my acceptance to a graduate program in Textile History. I had originally planned to restart blogging in November, and then at the beginning of the New Year, so I’m getting a bit of a late start, especially compared to most bloggers around. About a month ago, I was just about to start up again, but my hard drive crashed completely, and this is the first I’m getting around to a new start.

My radio silence between the old echo knits and new was probably beneficial for everyone, since the past few months since I applied to grad school have been mostly filled with me worrying about getting in, changing positions at work, and lots and lots of on call.

This blog will not only follow my prep and planning as I move myself, my stash, my spinning wheel, my cat, and my husband (eventually) to start school in the fall, but also my increasing interest in the craft movement and the use of technology in craft. I’ll also be tracking my new foray into socks that actually fit, my new spinning skills, and occasional non-fiber escapades. And even maybe a little sewing.
