Yes, it seems like an odd combination, but you just never know what you will find over at Ravelry. I was checking out some of the latest groups over there, and low and behold, there is now a group for The Bronte Family. I adore all three Bronte sisters and have read a good deal of their work. A few years ago, I had joined a Yahoo Bronte group, and we read anything by and about the Brontes. It really made me stretch my literary muscles, and I ended up learning about works that I hadn’t heard much about like Agnes Grey, one of my favorite novels. I’ve even used this text a few times in my English classes because it’s not overly long or involved for students, and the ending is wonderful. I won’t spoil it for you, but it’s got an ending that would be perfect for any romantic Hollywood movie. I even managed to squeeze little Agnes into my dissertation. Obviously, it may be a stretch to combine yarn crafting and Bronte adoration, but I’m excited none the less.
