Ganked from Sheep & Stitch’s History of Knitting Part 2, which is a great read! If you’re curious about why Madonnas would be depicted knitting, they have the answer!
I knit, crochet, spin, and have done some experimenting with weaving and natural dye. Iām also a technical writer, mom to 3 boys, and enjoy gardening.

Beautiful, one of my favourite knitting paintings. I just sent a copy of Minden’s painting to my mum 2 days ago! – a strange but happy coincidence.
At the risk of being sacrilegious:
“Knitting Madonna,
project on your lap.
Don’t know how you manage to
knit that cap!”
Okay, so it’s not a hat, but you get my drift.
