Knitting Men Project - request for participation/interest

11/11/2008

Comments

 

After the Men’s Knitting Retreat, I have been thinking seriously about compiling a collection of stories and interviews featuring knitters and fiber artists from all 50 of the United States. While this is a very premature request, I wanted to find out among you who might be interested in sharing who they are, how they began to knit (where they learned), etc. etc. - I have started a webpage linked here - it's very much under construction, but everything has to start somewhere, right?

This will be for a Senior project at my University - a “culminating” project and will hopefully record our section of the arts and crafts community and showcase our diversity throughout the country as well as document the current specifics that we may see as relevant… things always change, so I think it’d be neat to get our stories down on paper…

If you’re interested in participating, please send me an email here

and while I am sure I’ll get multiple entries from some states, I am glad to accept everyone - and as time goes by I will edit as needed. For now, all I need is a report of interest :)

Thanks!!

PS when you email or reply, let me know which state you’re “claiming” as your own so that I can keep track of that - and if you send a private message, be sure to include your email… and any other links like blogs or ravelry / menwhoknit ID's as well as etsy stores, or anything that might help me know a little about you so that I can take into consideration those participating as the interview questions are developed.

This project will begin in Early January, 2009 with culmination and completion in Late April / Early May, 2009 - it will (with any luck) be the final project before my BS degree from Middle TN State University (even though I live in California) - it's a long story :)

Participation will include answering a set of interview questions online, possibly phone conversations, submitting photos of yourself and/or work, business, hometown, etc. that could be used in the project.  More details will arrive as they are developed.

thanks!

ps for those of you eager to hear all about the Men's Fall Knitting Retreat, I just haven't had a chance to write about it yet - it was one of the most enjoyable trips I have ever taken - and I'll leave you with this: I can't wait till next year! -- a full report with pics to come soon...
