The Stories of Knitting:

“Stories teach us new things, show us who we are and bind us together,” says Kathy Goldner. This hour-long presentation, illustrated with photographs, knitted items and antiques from Kathy’s collection, explores the world of knitting past and present, through stories.
Lessons from our grandmothers, the courage of women and the importance to our culture of domesticity, are themes of this presentation. Kathy tells her knitting story which begins with her grandmother. This extraordinary woman shed her Victorian upbringing in pre-WWI Germany to become a physician and psychoanalyst, ultimately fleeing Hitler’s Germany to immigrate to the United States.
Kathy tells this and other stories. You hear Debbie Stoller tell the story of her Dutch grandmother who began knitting socks at age six for her family of fifteen. Knitting stories are read from books including Knitting Lessons, KnitKnit and Knitting for Peace.
This talk also explores the fascinating history of knitting and looks ahead to the future of this craft and the unusual and inspiring things people are knitting today.
For ten years Kathy ran a literature program which brought great stories of Western literature, including The Odyssey and Hamlet, to elementary school children in Maine. When she began knitting after a fifteen year hiatus, she discovered armloads of knitting books with wonderful knitting stories and wanted to listen to them while she knit. It was this love of stories which prompted Kathy to start her audiobook company Knitting Out Loud.
