Rumor has it that around May 2, 2010 the folks at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library in New York are hosting an Eleanor Roosevelt Knit-In.
Attendees will knit or crochet 7-inch by 9-inch acrylic yarn blocks for afghans to “Warm Up America!”
There will be Roosevelt films shown, including one of “Oak Terrace,” Eleanor Roosevelt’s Grandmother Hall’s estate in Tivoli.
An appearance by “Eleanor” is slated with refreshments and a free pass to the FDR library the day of the event.
Those attending do not have to knit or crochet to attend, however, reservations are required. Being a popular event, early reservations are recommended.
Reservations are required in advance by sending a check for $15 per person to the Town of Hyde Park Historical Society, P.O. Box 182, Hyde Park, N.Y. 12538. Include your name, address, phone number and e-mail address.
