Elizabeth Baer (English, retired) presented a Zoom lecture “The Girl in the Green Sweater,” to an audience of 200 people around the world on February 1, 2025. The talk was sponsored by Knitting History Forum, a British organization, and told the story of a sweater worn by a young girl hiding from the Nazis in the sewers below Lvov, Poland for 14 months. The talk was excerpted from a chapter in Baer’s forthcoming book, Closeknit: Intimate Portraits of the World of Knitting.
