Knit So As To Turn Water: The History of New England's Maritime Knitting

By Rebecca Bayreuther Donohue

It followed the fish, the flight paths of immigrants, the sea-lanes of war: the knitted clothing of New England reflects maritime cultures the world over.  Rich with origin mythology and salty with sailors’ yarns, garments like nippers, half-handers, and the infamous fisherman’s sweater each hold a romantic yet real place in our coastal history.  Explore knitting a WWI submariner’s outfit with the Navy League!  Imagine learning to knit with a pair of whalebone needles you carved yourself!  Join Rebecca Bayreuther Donohue, historian & knitter, for an ode to wool and marvel once again at how the sea connects us all.
