SUMMARY:Public Knitting Event: Les Tricoteuse
DESCRIPTION:Marking Ruddington’s 40th anniversary of being twinned with Grenay in France\, the Framework Knitters Museum will be celebrating France\, Bastille Day and Les Tricoteuse\, the radical knitters of the French Revolution\, with a public knitting day in our Summer House. \nLes Tricoteuse were the radical women of the French Revolution who sat next to the guillotine\, knitting as heads rolled. Many of these women had been involved in early outbursts of the Revolution\, such as marching to Versailles in October 1789 to protest against rising prices and food shortages. Their knitting became a key symbol of resistance. \nA good summary of Les Tricoteuse can be found here … Tricoteuses: Knitting Women of the Guillotine – geriwalton.com \nFor our celebration of France and the relationship between Ruddington and Grenay\, we are hosting a public knitting day\, in the spirit of Les Tricoteuse\, on Saturday 11th July from 11am to 3pm in our Summer House. \nNo need to book\, just drop in at any time and enjoy sharing your craft with others. \nSuitable for all ages and all skill levels\, and so bring your own project along and enjoy knitting together in our Summer House. \nPlease feel free to dress appropriately for this French themed event. \nN.B. No guillotines will be in use during the day! \n  \nYou may also enjoy … Worldwide Knit In Public Day – Framework Knitters Museum \n  \n  \n  \n
