Review by Library Journal Review

Textile designer Montgomerie (Easy Baby Knits) explores vintage fashion from the 1920s through the 1980s in this collection of knitted garments and accessories. Each chapter focuses on a particular decade and begins with a textual and visual overview of the major trends in terms of style, color, and popular culture. As with most vintage collections, some designs are more wearable than others; here, the accessories are easily the most appealing to everyday knitters. Courtney Kelley and Kate Gagnon Osborn's recent Vintage Modern Knits is more versatile, but knitters interested in true vintage garments (rather than vintage-inspired knits) will appreciate Knitting Vintage.
