Knitting: History, Fashion, and Great Knitting Yarns

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This celebration of the art, craft, history, and various joys of knitting enforces the newly chic nature of creating one's own handknit garments. The book is divided into four sections: Knit Wit (quotes from real and fictional knitters); A Stitch in Time (history of the craft); The Knitty Gritty (factoids and trivia from around the world); and Casting On (a guide to needles, yarns, and stitches) Now that kntting has cast off its grandmotherly image, it's a great gift for just about anyone.
