The Cambodians and Chester River Knitting Company, part three

Part three of the history of Chester River Knitting Company, specifically Beth and Bill's involvement with the Cambodian community during the Patterncraft period. ChesterRiverKnitting.com

As many of you know, my late husband, Bill Ruckelshaus, knitted sweaters on vintage hand-operated knitting machines for over 40 years. His sweaters were sought by people all over the world who appreciated his quality and the longevity of his sweaters. He used natural fibers such as wool, cotton, linen, camel hair, alpaca, and silk, as well as many others. He knit classic styles which would be appropriate for years and could be made trendy with accessories. Tragically, he was killed in an accident on his way to Maryland on July 14, 2019. I've created a Facebook group in which you can learn about his sweaters, the art which may possibly have gone to his grave with him, more about this wonderful man (I'm not at all biased), and have the opportunity to purchase some of his sweaters, if you'd like. In this group, I'll not only let you know as I get sweaters listed on Etsy little by little, but I'll have special sales, auctions, and other activities to help sell his sweaters as required for his estate. Feel free to invite your friends. Obviously, as these sweaters sell, they'll be gone forever. https://www.facebook.com/group....s/chesterriverknitti For my series on Bill's death, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AHc_uRPSVo&list=PL-qJGkcLR7n6-g95rIHJX9Ng0uk0oHBvv
