A lively and delightful history of knitting in Canada - from toques to Cowichan
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Shirley Scott, a self-described 5th generation Canadian knitter, has put together an impressive survey of knitting and knitters in Canada, as well as the wool processing companies Canada is known for. Canadian knitting is explored through diaries, memoirs, anecdotes, and oral histories. Uncovered here are stories of famous Canadians who were knitters, from Arctic explorers and labour leaders to hockey players. With wonderful illustrations (photos in both color and black and white), Shirley introduces the broad spectrum of the lively knitting culture of our neighbors to the North. Like knitting itself, this book provides hours of joy as one turns each page to discover yet another story of the wonderful world of knitting in Canada.
