For 30 (!) stocking patterns and many beautiful illustrations, consider downloading the Weldon’s Practical Stocking Knitter, Third & Fourth Series eBook.
In the special issue Folk Knitting, the hidden stories of knitting and fabric from around the world come to light.
Knitting, crocheting, tatting, embroidery, even Turkish oya-making; cotton is the supreme material for fashion and household goods.
Make one of each of these knit socks, and mix and match. You will stand out in a crowd.
This boxed set of six volumes of Weldon’s Practical Needlework is what you’d want to take to that proverbial desert island.
One of my favorite books, The Beaded Edge 2 combines two of my loves: history and gorgeous beaded embellishments.
