Description   If you are a knitter of a historical bent, these reproductions of knitting lore from the Victorian era are a treasure trove of patterns and project ideas. They do require a bit of archeological/sociological study. Not written for we contemporary knitters, the illustrations are bare-bone, and the written out instructions are long and arcane; but, the information is solid, the ideas as deep as knitting history, and some of the projects are just down-right fun to knit. A secret of this particular reproduction, and many others from this era, is the un-illustrated projects that require careful attention to the instructions with some surprising results: e.g., "Join the sides of the sections and gently draw the center together" for a "Round Mat in Brioche." This is a new edition of this old book that has other titles.   Related Products...
