Tending to Our Knitting: Traditions and Trends

Based on the collection of Jacqueline Fee, author of The Sweater Workshop, the exhibition features an array of historical knitted home goods and garments. From 19th century baby bonnets to 20th century fashionable sweaters, from knitting sheaths to red, white, and blue patriotic World War I knitting needles, we explore the role knitters played in producing domestic items for the home as well as the important public roles they played in providing soldier’s necessities during wartime.
