"The knitting group at Country Meadows Retirement Community estimates that, altogether, they've been knitting for 500 years or so..."

For an hour every Tuesday morning, they put those combined centuries of experience to good use. The group is now partnered with Frederick Memorial Hospital's Survivors Offering Support program, which connects newly diagnosed breast cancer patients with survivors, said Angie Hylton, director of community life at the center. The women make shawls, hats, blankets and scarves, then send them to the hospital every three or four months. In the past, they have also supported Heartly House and Care Net.

Dulcimer Music

Dulcimers were reasonably common domestic and concert instruments in the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries. No doubt they were first brought to the colonies from England where they were used in the street music of the time. Portability and simplicity made the dulcimer much more practical than the piano for many settlers. These attributes probably led to its association with the lumber camps of Maine and Michigan. It is still referred to as a "lumberjack's piano" in the North.


The ancient origins of the dulcimer are undoubtedly in the Near East, where instruments of this type have been made and played for perhaps 5000 years. Santir and psanterim were names early applied to such instruments and are probably derived from the Greek psalterion. Today the dulcimer is known as the santouri in Greece and as the santur in India.
