I'm forwarding the message below for a friend who is in turn forwarding it
for someone from her knitting discussion list.  Please send any responses
to Susette Newberry, whose e-mail address is at the end of the forwarded
note, and NOT to me.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Another question--
 
A man who lost his wife several years ago needs some assistance.  Thirty
years ago, he & his wife saved all the brushings from their Samoyed and
commissioned someone to spin up the fur & weave it into a shawl.  He says
his wife rarely wore it because it was so scratchy, but he still cherishes
it.  He doesn't want to keep it, doesn't want to give it away to just
anyone, but *is* interested in giving it to a museum.  Does anyone know of
an appropriate repository of unusual knitted garments in the Washington,
D.C. (or mid-Atlantic) area?  Is there any museum that exhibits like goods
(mid-Atlantic or no)?  On a related note -- where is the best place
(museum) to see historical examples of knitting?
