From Library Journal
Over the years, Threads magazine writers have explored hand-knitting techniques from many countries, describing now-endangered folk traditions. As a companion to Hand-Knitting Techniques from "Threads" Magazine (Taunton, 1991), this volume brings together some of those articles, covering such diverse traditions as Catalan knit-lace, Swedish Tvaandsstickning (double-ended knitting), Japanese "knit paintings," and the gorgeous Bohus knitting--a technique that appears as a riot of color but actually never uses more than two colors in any one row of knitting. However, this collection is not only a historical treatment of ethnic knitting but also a step-by-step guide, offering encouragement for today's knitters to expand their horizons by experimenting with techniques from around the world. Superb photographs combine with authoritative text and a fetching layout to create a book that is recommended for any library with knitting or folk craft collections.
