A History of Hand Knitting (Abridged) Audiobook

" Good reference. "

" supremely fascinating "

" This book has a ton of great information on the history of knitting, but be warned, it's a bit... academic. There were a couple of times that I realized that I'd quit reading and was just turning pages because my brain was full. Taken in small doses, though, it's an amazing book. "

" Extremely interesting book about the origins and history of hand knitting around the world. My only criticism is that the book is only available abridged on audiobook and that the narrator reads as though she's reading a text book. Otherwise, the content and writing is very good! "

" Unless you knit, skip this one. I thought it was REALLY interesting, but that would be the knitting thing. I cannot imagine why anyone who does not knit would read this. And there are surely a great number of knitters who would find this excruciating. I like the history thing. What can I say? "

" Adio book, awesome listening whilst knitting. Me thinks I want the paper version too :) "

" An extremely in-depth and interesting look into what knitting is, how it came to be, and what distinguishes it from other, similar fiber crafts throughout the ages. "

" Okay, so I'm a knitting nerd. I enjoyed learning about stuff like the origin of Fair Isle patterns and the days when hand knit socks were a cottage industry. "

" One of the only accounts of the history of knitting. "

" Short and odd. It was a worldwide history, sketchy in several areas (particularly American), and I had doubts about his research. "

" Listened to the abridged audio December 2009. The whole book is better, of course! "
