Designer Bio. . .
Musician, artist, writer. Erica wears many hats and she designed them all herself! Erica started playing fiddle/violin at the tender age of nine and by the time she was twelve she was performing professionally with her family band, The Homegrown String Band. Since 1997 the band has since traveled widely and recorded four CDs. Erica's parents, following the advice of her music teacher, decided to pursue a non-traditional homeschooling program for her. It was during her homeschooling years, or more accurately her unschooling career, that Erica was first introduced to the world of fiber arts. Her mom taught her how to crochet and she taught herself how to knit. It wasn't long before the kid who fiddles to a different drummer was accumulating a yarn stash and designing her own projects. Her original designs have been published in print (See Published Designs) and online e-publications (knitty.com). She maintains a blog (Fiddleknits.blogspot.com) and is currently working on several design collections that will [hopefully] be appearing throughout 2010.
