Everyday Knitting

This book is a treasure trove of knitting patterns and cultural history. The author unravels the fascinating history of traditional knitting, a story revealed by investigations in a pile of knitted rags left behind in the storage bins of a -shoddy- factory. This ragpile reveals the close historical ties between everyday knitting in Norway and traditional knitting in Europe. Everyday Knitting provides a glimpse of creativity in the everyday life of knitters. Anyone with a genuine interest for knitting is sure to find a wealth of inspiration and ideas. Diagrams and patterns give advice on how to develop your own patterns from traditional motifs. This is an unusual book for creative readers with cultural interest. Authoe: Annemor Sundbø
