“History of Knitting” a Talk with Joyce Meader

Join us for a wonderful and informative talk with Joyce Meader, author of 'Knitskreig'.

Joyce is a historical knitting expert who owns a very extensive collection of commercially printed knitting patterns. Her collection ranges from 1817 to the present day. Examples of the places that have asked for knitted items from Joyce include The National Army Museum Chelsea, Museum of Army Flying Middle Wallop and the Mountain Heritage Trust Mallory Collection. Joyce and her team provided balaclavas, mufflers, fingerless mitts and jumpers for the First World movie ‘1917’ 

Joyce’s talks have been presented to groups ranging from local WI, TWG, the Western Front Association, and to other knitting groups. Joyce’s presentation style is both entertaining and informative. Her patterns have been used to recreate items for re-enactors, museums and private clients.
