Academic Knitting

This past quarter, I have been taking a knitting class through the Women's and Gender Studies program. We have read a lot about the social history of knitting in America, as well as some more contemporary pieces on knitting.

Soon I'll have to write a big paper on a knitting blog that I could choose to follow for the whole quarter. It's really informative, also about a Chicago knitter. Her blog is called Knit and Pearl.

Another of the assignments for this class was to write four journals on our reading. I've posted the journals for your viewing. Although they mention some of the reading that will be unfamiliar to you, they offer a glimpse into the life of academic knitting. I couldn't find the first journal, so you only get three...big loss, I know.
