NC Knitters – Jeanne Doty’s House – Tuesdays 9:30-11:30 am

Posted on February 5, 2015 by Eileen Lee Posted in Knitting, Weaving Class

Jeanne is very gracious to offer her house on Tuesday mornings for social knitting gatherings.   February 3 was our first meeting for the NC Knitters.  It was so much fun sharing knitting and weaving.  There was plenty of inspiring conversation.  Just the other day, I read this story about social knitting.  This article was about the significance of social knitting in the rural Welsh knitters life:

“The knitting night was an important social event in eighteenth century Wales and well into the nineteenth century.  The party was often held on moonlit nights with special treats provided by the hostess.  The ladies usually arrived first and the young men followed later. All the ladies would work on their knitting;  some of the men would knit garters.  Both written and oral accounts show that not much work was really accomplished during these evenings – stories were told and stitches were dropped as teasing lads pull out needles.  Good storytellers were always welcome at these gatherings, especially if they told ghost stories, which made the ladies nervous and unwilling to walk home without a male escort (from Minwel Tibbott’s Knitting Stockings in Wales). “

My thought about this, if he values his life, my husband would never think of pulling out my needles! 2015-02-03 11.07.50 2015-02-03 11.06.16 2015-02-03 11.09.012015-02-03 11.07.332015-02-03 11.06.06
