The Osgoode Stocking KAL (Session II)

Have you ever wanted to knit a piece of local history? Now you can, with The Osgoode Stocking - a pattern lovingly designed for the Osgoode Township Museum by Sydney Roseweck, headmistress of Squid's School of Vintage Knitting.

Sydney created this pattern by examining a pair of original stockings from 1907 in the museum's collection, and we are inviting you to come knit a pair. Each session will open with a short talk on a knitting history topic, the rest of the session is open for knitting and socializing.

Sessions run from 1pm to 3pm on the below dates and operate on a drop-in basis, in-person at the museum. The knit-a-long is a free program with The Osgoode Stocking pattern available for sale exclusively through the museum.
