Description
None of us needs to be reminded that for much of the year Canada is a bitterly cold country. But, out of this adversity has sprung a genuinely Canadian folk art with a truly practical purpose -- warmth and style. The history of hand-knit garments in Canada -- from toques and scarves to seaters and blankets -- is an honorable and varied one that has fulfilled two primal needs -- insulation and decoration -- for many generations of Canadians. Canadian knitting is explored through diaries, memoirs, anecdotes, and oral histories. Uncovered here are stories of famous Canadians who were knitters, from Arctic explorers and labor leaders to hockey players. There are numerous color & black & white photos throughout the book.
