This Friday I am giving a talk at the AKC Museum of the Dog on the antebellum works in their collection. I am only about a third of the way done.
Did I mention that the talk is this Friday?
In the meantime, I bought a post card.
About Me
- 7-letter Deborah, never a Deb
- married, knitter, wearer of pet hair, dancer, little bit of a rock star. Oh, and if I mention anything about students, rest assured that I have changed their names, gender, age, and any other identifying features. Or maybe I don't even teach and am making it all up.

Here...some more to add to the pile of documentation! LOL
The Art-Journal. 1855

"Let those 'knit' now that never 'knit' before,
and those who never knit, now knit the more."
Crochet and Netting.-Then, when every one had learned to knit, crochet was introduced, and what had been previously knit was now to be executed with the crochet needle.
Oh...don't you just love finding good stuff!
So that's an interesting picture -- her ball of white yarn on the dirty ground with a peasant "marinating" right above it! My goodness.
I can't wait to hear the talk -- it'll be fantastic. I'm sure Mr. Steuie will be All Ears.

I wonder if she had been holding the ball of yarn in her apron. One side appears tucked up while the other side is down, and the yarn falling to the ground.
A make shift knitting apron, maybe?
