museums, knitting, and (sometimes) more

Museums and Knitting, or confirmation that I really am a nerd.

After a conversation about my dream job with a friend and fellow student, a quick google (and, oh, google, how I heart thee) informed us that the closest thing to a knitting museum is the Ruddington Framework Knitters' Museum, in the East Midlands, UK ... more of a historic site museum exploring the textile industry, but nevertheless features exciting opportunities such as using a 19th century sock knitting machine.
On a relatedly obscure note, The Museum of Modern Art has a pretty huge design collection which includes a number of beautiful, functional, and covet-able household appliances and other consumer goods. It dawned on me on the subway that the ADDI TURBO addi should obviously be considered for accession.
