2011/10/29
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
Knitting Around the World: A Multistranded History of a Time-Honored Tradition, is a large, luscious history of knitting the world over. It begins with the history of knitting in the Islamic world, proceeds to Western Europe and then on to The British Isles and Ireland, Scandinavia and Iceland, the Baltics, Eastern Europe and the Balkans, Australia and New Zealand, the United States and Canada and South and Central America.
The book is filled with historic patterns and even some patterns that can be knit now. It goes into the techniques of knitting specific to each geographic area and what makes each area unique in its approach to knitting. The book spotlights designers of reknown and discusses what makes them famous. There is a section on where to find some of the artists, knitters, and historians featured in this book and their websites are provided. There is a wonderful bibliography and index as well.
The book is formatted as a coffee table book and would be wonderful to have on display to look at regularly. It is a real treasure.

This book is a disappointment

I was looking forward to a history book of knitting. If you go for pictures/prints of paintings of people from older days knitting, it is very beautiful, but the text gives you no surprises about historic knitting. The magazine Traditional Knitting from Interweave is much better, they manage to give you real knowledge of what we know about knitting history today. Knitting around the world gives you a presentation of knitting designers that are still (young) and active in their work , and whom is presented in the everyday mags and book we hobby knitters are reading all the time.
From my country, Norway, Annemor Sundb is the one. She has of course done a lot to export Norwegian patterns abroad, esp USA. She is more known there than in Norway. She has written books that tell a story of knitting in our country. Her books are translated to English, so everyone can read them for themselves. One day Annemor will be named in the history books together with other famous knitting Norwegians, like Unn Siland Dahle (the Marius skisweater),Peer Spook, Ellinor Flor and a lot of others that is still working today. Annemor , I hope, has still some years to go, and is too young to be in a history book.
How many books and mags shall we buy and read before we see something else than the white and blue "islamic" socks from India? Some pictures (wonderful!) are showing modern patterns of socks and mittens that it is possible to knit if you go to the source for the pattern. In Traditional Knitting you get patterns to knit and thus you can find out how it was to knit different garments in old fashioned ways.
I agree with the person who says it is a coffe table book, but that was not what I wanted to buy. I am interested in knitting history. My husband liked it though, but he has not read anything of knitting history before.
A beautiful book, but it tells the wrong story.
