Jan Hiester, Curator of Texiles, gives us some sneak peeks at knitted items from the Museum’s collection. We are gearing up for a host of knitting programs this year, the first of which is an Introduction to Knitting Workshop on March 12. Please join us!
Have you always wanted to learn to knit? With all of the gorgeous
natural, exotic and novelty fibers available today, there's never been a
better time to start! In this morning-long knitting workshop, students
will be introduced to the tools of the craft, learn how to buy the
right yarn for projects and how to read a basic pattern. Instructor
Becca Hiester will teach us how to cast on, knit, purl and bind off
while starting an easy project. We will take a break from all the
knitting action with a curator-led tour of the Museum's textile storage
area and a look at knitted objects in the collection. Workshop fee
includes yarn and needles to keep. No knitting experience required.
