From Norway to Alabama: How One Family’s Knitting Legacy Unlocked a Hidden American Story

Posted by Danielle | Feb 21, 2025 | Beyond Knitting, Featured | 0 |

I wrote about Dana Conroy’s New Pioneer PBS documentary ‘Knit With Love‘ in one of my recent newsletters and I’m delighted to share that it’s now available to watch online!

To discover why knitting was so important to her great-great-grandmother, filmmaker Dana Conroy goes on a journey that takes her from Alabama to Norway to the Vesterheim Norwegian-American museum in Decorah, Iowa. Along the way she learns about her family, the latest trends in knitting, and how to make yarn the old-fashioned way.
