Workshops:
"Sitting and Knitting: 19th Century Knitting Basics" Suzy Beggin “While men are making a free-will offering of their life’s blood on the altar of their country, women must not be idle. We must do what we can for the comfort of our brave men. We must sew for them, knit for them, nurse the sick . . . .” From the diary of Judith Brockenbrough McGuire as printed in The Women of the South in War Times, by Matthew Page Andrews. Why spend your time just sitting when you could be sitting and knitting? The ideal woman of the 19th century was never idle, and it was a great compliment to be called industrious. Here is your chance to become an industrious woman by spending your restful hours at reenactments knitting. This workshop is intended for those with little or no experience knitting. After a brief introduction on knitting during the Civil War, you will dive right in and learn to knit, purl, cast on, cast off, increase and decrease. The $30 workshop fee includes needles, wool and a pattern for a small, historically accurate project which you will start, and possibly finish, during the workshop.
"Look At That! CDVs Investigated" Presented by a panel of experts in different fields.
