In this episode of Show and Tell, you’ll meet Milissa Ellison Dewey, a historian from Asheville, North Carolina, with a unique twist. She holds a remarkable collection of vintage knitting machines. Growing up as the daughter of poet naturalist George Ellison and painter Elizabeth Ellison, Melissa’s early life in the mountains of North Carolina, devoid of modern amenities, cultivated a mechanical mindset and a love for hands-on creativity. Despite her family’s academic background, she embraced a life of simplicity, learning valuable skills like knitting on hand-crank machines. This unconventional upbringing and her mechanical inclination led her to a surprising career path.
Milissa eventually became a professor of history, exploring the interplay between civilization and technology. Her deep appreciation for mechanical processes and historical context converged in a captivating way.
But her passion doesn’t stop at academia. Her love for vintage knitting machines is palpable. She’s not only collected these intriguing devices but also delved into their social history and the stories they carry. The knitting machines, some dating back to the 18th century, hold secrets of cottage industries, handcrafted clothing, and the challenges of early industrialization. Melissa’s expertise and enthusiasm shine as she demonstrates the art of knitting on these antique machines, sharing insights into their unique capabilities and quirks.
Join us to explore history through a mechanical lens, and witness the fascinating journey of a historian with a penchant for vintage knitting machines.
Milissa is a historian with many interests, including antique machinery used to embroider, knit and sew. The provenance of each machine she collects is impor...
