Loved learning about knitting, the fun facts. So many things to read about that are fun.
Sad to learn there is no patron saint for knitters. Facts about longest knitting needles and crochet hooks
Before coverings of today there is discussion of what was worn and their names. I've knit many of the older things and still do today: muffattees.
Wow lit knitting needles during first world war and 2nd. Put yarn through needle gauge to determine the size needles-great tip!
Silly jokes LOL
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). (
