“Susan has positioned the background of knitting in the context of yankee historical past, so that it will in actual fact see how knitting is intertwined with such topics as geography, migration, politics, economics, woman emancipation, and evolving social mores. She has traced how a melting pot of knitting traditions stumbled on their means into American tradition through titanic waves of immigration, improved chance for trip, and technology.” —Melanie Falick
 
This is the historical past that Knitting America celebrates. superbly illustrated with classic development booklets, posters, postcards, black-and-white old images, and modern colour pictures of knitted items in inner most collections and in museums, this booklet is an attractive view of the USA in the course of the handiwork of its knitters.
