Knitting Traditions Magazine Winter 2010

Knitting socks is a very popular pastime for many knitters and there are lots of way to do it – cuff-down, toe-up, with the magic loop method, two at a time… Well in this issue of Knitting Traditions you can learn the technique of knitting socks: two at a time, one INSIDE the other! That’s right – one inside the other.

Knitting Traditions magazine is special issue from Interweave Press which contains over 40 knitting projects including socks, shawls and scarves, items for baby, a variety of hand coverings, hats, squares and edgings, and finger puppets. The contents for Knitting Traditions were selecte from previous issues of Piecework magazine, most of which are no longer available. (Piecework is another publication from Interweave Press).

The interesting thing about this magazine is that each project is presented with its historical context. You can read about the tradition of knitting throughout the centuries and and techniques from around the world. So there’s traditional turkish knitted stockings, lace knitting from New Zealand, shawls from Russia and the Faroe Islands, Swedish mittens and much, much more.
