In preparation for celebrating CKC’s 10th Anniversary we dug into our online collections to uncover some unusual treasures. 

What did we find? Historical sheet music for songs about knitting and crochet, ranging from 1847 to 1923! That got us thinking very creatively, and in 2023 CKC held a “CKC Music | Makers: A Knit Purl Jam & Acoustic Crochet” and called for musicians to reinterpret and recreate any one (or more) of the historical songs in CKC’s Library and Museum Collections. Follow the links below to see the historical songs or listen to the amazing entries that we received!
