For the Love of Knitting

My mother in law recently sent me as a gift the book For the Love of Knitting, a beautiful book filled with wonderful essays about the history and culture of knitting. Not a pattern book, but rather an illustrated cultural history (some might say coffee-table book) with wonderful photographs, vintage illustrations and advertisements, and essays by some of the biggest names in knitting, including Elizabeth Zimmermann, Kaffe Fassett, Meg Swansen, Teva Durham, Melanie Falick, and many others, it is truly an ode to the craft of knitting. Thank you Vivien!
