Let’s talk!

Hello, everyone! It’s looking and feeling like Spring here in Virginia.

I’ve gotten a few big projects completed, and then spent some time figuring how what’s going to be next on my list of Things to Do.

One of the things I’d like to concentrate on is having more dialogue with others–students, potential students, fans, or maybe just friends and family! I plan to stop in to my Ravelry group on a more frequent basis, and start some conversations about various things. We might be talking about your favorite things to stitch, your least favorite projects, or the fastest gift you’ve ever made. I’ll be sharing with you a little bit about my upcoming projects, and maybe giving you a sneak peek, as I’m allowed.

I’m always interested in hearing from you what types of patterns and workshops you would like to see. Please join me on Ravelry at Edie Eckman Stitchers. Knitters and crocheters are both welcome!

Bonus Material for Class Attendees

I love to teach; it is great to see so many old friends and meet so many new ones. Often my students are happy to hear about a feature that I’ve adding to the website just for class attendees.

After each class, I’ll be posting resources related to the things we discussed in class. Sometimes these will be links to software or other topics that came up in class. Other times, it may just be completed spreadsheets from a pattern drafting class. In other words, the content of that particular class will determine what the resources are. It will be like the “links” section that goes with a good podcast, although this “podcast” will be a live class, and you’ll have to take the class to find out the password. The occasional class won’t necessitate a follow-up, but if rest assured that if it does, you’ll get the password in class in order to be able to access the content.

I’ll do my best to get content online within a few days of the class, but sometimes internet connectivity while traveling is less than ideal. If you’ve taken the class and don’t see the material up within five days or so, send me an email.

And let me know what you think!

Thanks for Stopping By

Here at the Edie Eckman website, you’ll learn about the many hats that I wear as a freelancer in the fiber arts world. In no particular order, those hats include teaching, writing, designing and editing. You’ll learn about the books that I write, the classes that I teach, and the technical work that I do. Hopefully, you’ll discover that you want to take a class from me or ask me to teach, design, or consult.

I love knitting and crochet; please don’t make me choose between them! It’s all just making fabric with fiber and either two tools or one. I feel very strongly that knitters need to know how to crochet and crocheters need to know how to knit in order to take advantage of the best both skills have to offer.

You can find me on Facebook (Edie Eckman), on Twitter (@edieeckman) and on Ravelry (edieeckman).

Feel free to explore the site, and drop me a line. I’d love to hear from you!
