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.

This is from the knit list, by the way. Laura ---------- From: Susette Newberry Sent: Sunday, December 11, 1994 10:39PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: ISO Museum for Samoyed Shawl 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? --Susette Newberry __________________________________________________________________ [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
