I took my daughter and her friend for a July Fourth visit and had the good fortune of meeting Catalina Hannan, who is the librarian at Sunnyside (and also the resident knitting historian!)
She had a wonderful display of things she's knitted, based on patterns from the mid 1800's. Of particular note were her samplers, based on Knitting Lace, by Susanna Lewis. She had one version:
And another, using DMC Cebelia 30, and it looks like this! Get out your eye glasses...
And even more wonderful things!

My knitting and I had a choice time...
I will put these pictures and more up on Flickr (link on your left) for complete enjoyment!
