Review by Library Journal Review
Knitwear designer Bush (Knitting on the Road) takes readers back to 19th-century England with this volume of 24 sock patterns adapted for the modern sock knitter from the British magazine Weldon's Practical Needlework, published from 1886 to the end of the 1920s. These patterns were more chatty descriptions than step-by-step instructions, and the fine yarns and needles used in those days are difficult to find today, but Bush translates each of the patterns into modern knitting language and specifies materials readily available to today's knitters. Recommended for large public library and textile collections. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
