Hollywood Knitting - Bette Davis

The great Bette Davis crocheting. She was the first female president of the American Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. She was the highest paid woman in the United States in 1947 and 1949.

Hollywood Knitting - Ingrid Bergman
Posted by Kelli Ladwig on
Love this photo of Ingrid Bergman and Alfred Hitchcock winding yarn on the set of the movie, "Notorious" in 1946. Notorious is famous as Hitchcock's first film that used sexual tension as a theme and is considered his arrival as a mature director.

Hollywood Knitting - Carole Lombard
Posted by Kelli Ladwig on
One of my absolute favorite actresses, Carole Lombard. She was the highest paid Hollywood star in the late 1930's. Her final film with Jack Benny and Robert Stack, "To Be or Not to Be", was in post-production when she died in an airplane crash while on a World War II War bond drive.

Why Consciously Crafting?
Posted by Gretchen A. on
At McKnittey, we believe we are to be better citizens of the world. Each one of us is called to be a steward of the gifts given to us. Since we are both “multi-craft-ual” and want to use what we know to better the world, we decided to knit them together and create this Consciously crafting community.
