Hey I found your substack via notes & can I just say this is such a cool idea! A) How did you get a sabbatical from your job? B) Do you change what you knit based on the vibe of the library? 😊
Thanks for reading! It’s a fun project and 10/10 I highly recommend doing it in your state. (A) I am a professor, so sabbatical is built into my contract. I submit a proposal with a plan to conduct a scholarly or professional project and if my application is accepted I get 1-2 semesters to focus all of my time on that project. I do research about how to support lgbtq+ educators, and I did a lot of that work in the libraries. (B) This is an awesome idea and I wish the answer were “yes,” but I usually plan ahead of time which project I’ll take with me to the library, so I choose the knitting prior to knowing the vibe. I usually take something that lets me relax and listen to the conversations around me.
