Good luck with your travels and the time of research! I look forward to your blog on a daily basis, and now can’t wait to read about your life in India, at home, traveling and the food!

Oh my goodness! One whole year–wow, that is great! Maybe you can learn to weave rather than knit, that would be one of the best places to learn in S. India! That is, if you have an interest in weaving.

Dang…I really should become an Academician!
I wish you all the best.

Wow, have a wonderful year away! It sounds like it’s going to be an amazing adventure for you, both academically and personally. I’m interested to read your post during this upcoming trip. I’m totally jealous that your job allows for this. Sometimes I seriously wonder if I made the right decision leaving academia!

Hmm, what to take is a difficult question. If I were going on a year trip, I think I would take a really challenging larger project (but not too large!)–like a fair isle sweater in a tiny gauge. Or an intricate lace stole. Then, I would likely bring yarn for some smaller projects, like socks, etc. You can always pick up yarn here and there for hats, scarves, etc. I have no idea if that helps you, but that’s what I would likely do!

Super late maybe… but better late than never
hope you have a wonderful trip!!!
Will you be going to Pune?
Where else?
And must say your hand knitted collection is super cool!
Last but not least – kodos on the Rangoli pattern!!

I can’t wait to read your posts from India! I’m not much help with the packing though. I packed pretty lightly when I went to India, knowing that I would want to buy clothes and fabrics while I was there, but I was only gone for a summer, not a whole year!
