5.0 out of 5 stars A nostalgic and invaluable collection of basic techniques., 22 May 1998

By A Customer

This edition is a reprint of a book first published in 1938. Some of the language seems a little old-fashioned and quaint, as do some of the references to "new" items,(rayon yarn for example) but this only adds to the charm of the book.

The descriptions are precise, the illustrations are clear, and the techniques themself are classic. This book is loaded with interesting ways of doing things that I have never seen before. I would imagine that without books like this, some of these techniques and historical tidbits would stand the risk of being lost. That fact alone makes this book priceless. I would enthusiastically recommend it not just as a basic reference for any knitter, beginner or experienced, but for anyone interested in craft history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, 12 Jul 2007

By	Knitting Nellie - See all my reviews

This book does everything; how to cast on, stitch formation, different sorts of increases and decreases... the list goes on forever. How to knit different types of garments, gloves, socks etc. It also covers things you may never have heard of - moss knitting, for example (which is not moss stitch knitting). I found it so interesting because it is a window on the past. One chapter of this book would be expanded to make a whole new book these days, with lots of big colour pictures to fill out the pages. I thought it was a really interesting read. There is a relatively large section on knitting a Shetland shawl too - not something you come across in many books. Don't be put off by the horrible modern cover - it is a facsimile edition inside.

3.0 out of 5 stars history, 31 May 2009

By	doria - See all my reviews

I didn't get much out of it knitting wise, but it has some very interesting chapters about the history of knitting.
