Aus dem Klappentext:
With a history that can be traced back to medieval Europe, knitting was once the preserve of wealthy patrons who commissioned exquisite garments made from the finest silk. Over time, the craft was taken up on a more domestic scale--either out of necessity or for pleasure. The various traditions that developed have since passed lovingly from one generation to the next, while trade, tourism, and migration have aided the dissemination of the craft across the globe.
In Heirloom Knitting Skills: A Stitch in Time, knitwear designer Rita Taylor explores the most lasting of these knitting traditions. Heavily textured fishermen's sweaters, super-fine lace shawls, geometric color-stranding, and all manner of bobbles, twists, and cables can be found here. Rita Taylor discusses the origins and application of six main stitch types, offers 12 projects that feature her favorites, and presents a library of over 150 stitch patterns, from which you can seek inspiration for designs of your own.
