A recce visit today to colleagues at Southwell Workhouse. There are strong links between the workhouse & the desperate needs of the framework knitters during the 1800s. We shall be there in May sharing our craft and stories with visitors. Thanks @midsandeastnt.bsky.social

We’re delighted that our FWK Friends scheme has been mentioned in dispatches in the Winter Journal of the British Association of Friends of Museums. Our Friends are brilliantly supportive and we’re looking forward to sharing with you an amazing contribution from them in the coming weeks.

The call for papers for Worklab 2026 in Slovenia is now open. Last year Museum Manager @davidlongford.bsky.social was at Worklab in Hamburg presenting a paper on the May Day celebrations of the Framework Knitters. See you in Ljubljana. worklab.info/call-for-pap...

Not a word of a lie. This morning we discovered a large print of Ned Ludd in our Chapel Gallery had mysteriously came off the wall during the night. Clearly, the frame-breaking continues.

In the autumn we launched our pilot programme of Framework Music Nights, as part of our new wider events offering. We’re developing this further for 2026, starting with shows from guitar duo Nicola Cipriani & Brad Myrick next month. Tickets now on sale. frameworkknittersmuseum.org.uk/event/framew...

Last chance in our Museum shop to pick up some seasonal bargains for your 2026 Xmas tree. Our ‘Knit in a Bauble’ decoration made by Teresa, one of our brilliant crafty volunteers has been a big hit. We are researching an online shop to develop sales. So, watch this space.

Wow! Blown away by the enthusiastic response to us now joining you all here on Bluesky. A massive hello, thank you and Happy New Year to you all. Here’s a couple of pics taken from our surprisingly snowy and frosty Museum this morning.

Here to share more about our work celebrating the craft and graft of framework knitting, plus our new programme of events, workshops and exhibitions coming up in 2026.
