I hope it is ok to post an introduction. My name is Amy - I am Knitnmom on Ravelry. I have two blogs - my personal journal at Journal Back to Joy and my knitblog at Knit+Mom=Knitnmom
I've only been a fan of Jane for a few years. I think only recently would I have enjoyed it as much as I do now. For Christmas I bought myself the BBC Jane Austen DVD collection and am really enjoying them. I would rather listen to Jane's books via audio and they are great for knitting! I've yet to listen to Northanger Abbey - I'll have to see if Librivox has a good version. Does anyone know?
As for what I am knitting....well, I was going to work on the Secret of the Stole ii, but it became very obvious I needed something more mindless so I've pulled out the boxers I'm knitting! I'll probably do some socks eventually too - I'm wanting to knit the Firestarters - have you seen them?
I look forward to meeting you all!

Jane Austen KAL
Masterpiece Theater will broadcast adaptations of all of Austen’s six novels, plus a new drama based on her life. It's the first time in tv history that her books have been broadcast as a complete collection. Join this knit along where we'll knit and watch the episodes together. Your knitting can but doesn't need to be inspired by Jane or her characters. Just share your projects and your thoughts on the adaptations.

Hi Amy- I tried the link to your boxers but it nly took me to the site and I could not find you there--is there a more direct link to the boxers? I threatened to kniot boxers for my brother-in-law and I would really love to do it!
I contributed one chapter to the Librivox version, but I haven't yet finished listening to all of it.
