Old Time Knitting: Instructions and Patterns

This book was compiled from the author's collection of vintage magazines and craft books. It will be of interest to the any crafts enthusiast whether they have a particular interest in history or not because the basic stitches and patterns haven't changed over the years and because the need for basics like hand knitted baby booties and caps remains current. Most of these patterns are from the mid-nineteenth through early twentieth centuries. This book will be of particular interest to those who participate in "living history demonstrations," and Civil War Re-enactors (great ideas for your period impression) The book will also provide enjoyment to those who simply love old things and classic crafting.
