Description   by Nicole Scalessa, curator. Nicole's casual interest in old crochet and knitting patterns grew into a mission to search The Library Company's collections and make available to patrons a comprehensive database of holdings focused on needle crafts and their relationship to the economy of the family, leisure, philanthropy, and manufacturing. Nicole's research has allowed her to cross-reference a large number of materials on the history of knitting and crochet throughout the nineteenth century and translate patterns of the period for modern use while uncovering a social history of knitting and crochet in early American culture. The culmination of her research is presented in both the exhibition and her book Historic Reflections in Crochet. (Philadelphia: The Library Company of Philadelphia, 2001.)
