Knitting Around the World
by Lela Nargi
This big book takes the reader on a dizzying trip through the historical and modern knitting traditions of every part of the world! The text is enlivened by copious photos, both old an new, interviews with modern knitters, patterns for small items (some taken from old flyers), and sidebars about sources of yarn and fiber. Naturally, stranded knitting traditions are well represented!
This picture is of a Sanquhar pattern gamp; of course, it caught my eye immediately!
