Historical Knitting Issue

It’s here, PieceWork’s sixth annual Historical Knitting issue! In it you’ll meet some extraordinary knitters. Ileana Grams-Moog describes how her mother, Anna Munster (1913–2010), a Jewish physician, survived World War II (1939–1945) in Europe in part by knitting gloves. Bertha Mae Shipley (1893–1971), who was born in a hogan in T� Haachʼiʼ, New Mexico, probably learned to knit at the Chilocco Indian School in north-central Oklahoma, where in 1915 she became the school’s first Navajo graduate. And then there’s Faustino Quispe Cruz, who with his son, Marc Antony, and the other men of this island in Lake Titicaca knit traditional caps at the almost unimaginable gauge of about 22 stitches per inch (9 stitches per cm). Projects include knitted purses, a headband, an Orenburg scarf, a shawl, gloves, and a baby cardigan. Enjoy!

The Wool Issue

It’s all about wool! The entire November/December 2011 issue of PieceWork is devoted to wool. Here are a few highlights: By the 5th century, Egyptian artisans were crafting wool socks, using a looping technique that is a precursor to knitting; we’ve included instructions for re-creating a pair of these socks. Vikings introduced wool to Iceland when they arrived with their sheep in the 9th and 10th centuries. Icelanders became famous for their color patterning in their knitting; try your hand at this with our Icelandic beret project. Long established as a medium for clothing and household textiles, wool yarn became, a favorite with embroiderers in the mid-nineteenth century as the hand-colored patterns on grids produced originally in Berlin and worked with fine Merino Saxon wool reached worldwide circulation; use the chart and instructions to stitch a sweet Berlin wool needle book. The survival of four endangered sheep breeds is the subject of “On the Edge: How a Handful of People Have Preserved Some Rare, Valuable Sheep and Their Wools.” Two, the Manx Loaghtan and the Leicester Longwool, have British roots; the Navajo-Churro and the American Tunis arose in the New World. Three knitting projects (mittens, a hat, and socks) and one crochet project (a pillow) serve as an introduction to using each of the four wools.

Curl up in your favorite comfy space and get to know some amazing literary characters, each of whom is a needleworker in PieceWork’s 2nd annual issue devoted to Needlework in Literature!

For example, from the prolific English author Patricia Wentworth, we have ace British detective Miss Silver, who “is aware that her knitting conveys an impression that helps her in her profession. She takes advantage of that, but her knitting is not a prop. She is a real knitter and takes her knitting wherever she goes.” Then there’s Eliza, Countess of Zeur, a double agent working as a spy for Louis XIV and William of Orange who features prominently in Neal Stephenson’s Quicksilver: “Eliza has been observing troop movements and supplies of materiel, then translating them into binary code which she conceals in cross-stitches on her sampler.” Sneaky! And get your needles and hooks ready to dive into the eight projects—from cross-stitch and needle lace to knitting and filet crochet—inspired by the books mentioned above, along with George Eliot’s Mill on the Floss, an original short story, a poem, a centuries-old legend, and more. Indulge yourself!

Piecework Juli-August 2011 9,50 �

Welcome to PieceWork’s July/August 2011 issue! It’s filled with ribbons, trims, and edgings, including some not typically included in these categories. Take macram�: does the word immediately evoke those clunky plant holders and wall hangings churned out by the tens of thousands in the 1960s and 1970s? It did for me. But it turns out that the technique’s use as a delicate and beautiful trim has deep roots in needlework history with several revivals over the centuries. We include complete instructions for a lovely slip-stitch knitted scarf with its own macram� trim. Have you ever thought about making your own ribbons? Step-by-step instructions to create the two shown on the cover await you. Worked on 52-count linen fabric with embroidery floss, they are both unusual and stunning. Recently, we received a collection of vintage pattern books and a tatting sampler book with the request that we share them with PieceWork readers. We’ve done that in this issue, including instructions for four crocheted, two tatted, and seven knitted edgings, along with a tatted medallion. These are just a few examples of what’s in store for you in this issue. Enjoy!

The extraordinary story of Lace.

What is it about lace that captivates and intrigues? Its lightness? Its delicacy? In putting PieceWork’s fourth annual lace issue together, I’ve come to realize that what makes it so special to me is all the painstaking hours and hours of handwork that go into creating it, whether it’s needle, bobbin, knitted, or crocheted lace. Imagine being one of the thirty-six women who worked for eighteen months to create a single flounce of Alen�on lace for France’s Empress Eug�nie. The stories of lacemakers are as intriguing as their lace: Anna Marie Jensen “campaigned for knitting to be recognized as a lacemaking technique”; Dorothy Reade championed the use of charts and symbols in lace knitting; for countless Irishwomen, making lace meant the difference between starvation and survival during the Great Famine. Each article and project in PieceWork’s May/June 2011 special Lace issue illustrates the extraordinary story of lace. Enjoy!

Piecework M�rz-April 2011 9,50 �

PieceWork’s March/April 2011 issue is devoted to color in textiles from the red fabrics found in Tutankhamen’s tomb to Japan’s striking indigo-dyed fabrics re-enforced and/or embellished with stitching. And there’s a lot of “eye candy” glorious photographs of some of the colorful materials that we use in our own creative endeavors! Projects in this issue include socks and wrist warmers to knit; redwork, Berlin work, sashiko, and “Festival Flowers” to stitch; and a looped string bag based on traditional bags from New Guinea. Each of the articles illustrates why color has been a major factor in the long history of textiles. Welcome to our celebration of colorful textiles!

Here’s PieceWork’s 5th annual historical knitting issue! In this installment, we explore the tradition of knitting from Turkey (source of the wedding socks that were Anna Zilboorg’s inspiration for her spectacular Fireworks Socks) to the White House (“First Lady Grace Coolidge and the Story of a Knitted Counterpane”), and span four centuries, from the seventeenth century’s Gunnister stockings to contemporary Swedish knitters who embrace the traditional technique of two-end knitting. In all of the stories and projects, we focus on the person or persons (many of them unknown) who wielded two or more metal, wooden, bone, or ivory pins, sticks, or needles together with yarn or thread to create a textile. We hope you enjoy this special issue, which connects today’s knitting and knitters with those of the past!

Can you even imagine a world without thread? We can’t, and that’s why the November/December 2010 issue of PieceWork is our tribute to silk, wool, and cotton thread. We trace the long and intriguing history of silk, including America’s own Silk Road on which “silk trains” sped from West to East, learn about children’s book author Beatrix Potter’s efforts to save England’s Herdwick sheep, explore an Italian counted-thread technique that dates to the Middle Ages and the tradition of crocheted Russian lace shawls, and find out about one family’s personal connection to thread.

Rose Wilder Lane, daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, chronicled her observations on textiles and needlework in many of her books and articles. Colleen McCullough’s The Ladies of Missalonghi speaks to the hearts of those who love needlework. Numerous books for children and young adults include the needle arts; an annotated list outlines some noteworthy examples.

Explore the amazing world of samplers in the July/August issue of PieceWork. Some form of what we now call “samplers”—the physical examples of a work that needleworkers used to remember, communicate, and preserve patterns, stitches, and color combinations before books and printing—probably were in use circa a.d. 500, and some embroidery samplers excavated in Egypt have been dated to as long ago as 1250. Long before instant communication, before printing, even before books, knitters, crocheters, embroiderers, lacemakers, and sewers relied on their stitched samples and samplers. Sample books and samplers from the past along with step-by-step instructions for making your own fill the pages of this special issue.

More History and More Techniques!

“Everyday Cloth” examines these and other oddities that Victorian and Edwardian women with the leisure to make things by hand thought necessary in their daily lives. And the “Ladies Useful Stockings to Knit,” perfect for reenactors, incorporate a Dutch Heel and a Flat Toe, techniques that were favored by Victorian knitters. Trace the life of an extraordinary woman in “Knitting for Survival: Anna Samens and Her Knitting Machine”: beginning in 1909, when Anna was seventeen and working in her father�s knitting factory in Riga, Latvia, and continuing on to Russia, back to Latvia, then to Germany, and finally to Canada, Anna literally relied on her knitting machine for survival.

Welcome to the magic and mystery of lace!

Our third annual issue focusing on lace is packed with beautiful projects and historical information on knitted, crocheted, bobbin, needle, and tatted lace. Did you know that lace made and broke national economies; women and men, many with more money than sense, died trying to possess the finest examples; smugglers devised creative and even ghoulish ways to avoid paying taxes and duties on it; and laws were enacted that attempted to restrict who could wear it? Those stories and more are in this issue.

Use our project instructions to create a stunning Herbert Niebling–inspired knitted-lace purse, elegant socks with lacy cuffs to knit, a tatted lace motif, a knitted Orenburg scarf, and an exquisite Dresden lace gift bag to embroider.

This issue is a lace lover’s dream!

The project was adapted from Ivory Embroidery featured in Weldon's Practical Needlework, Volume 6, as part of an ongoing series by Mary Polityka Bush.
Jody's Many-Color Vest to Knit- Eighteen colors of 100 percent wool yarn worked into twenty pattern bands comprise this vest adapted and knitted by Nancy Bush from an original vest created by Jody Haug. The vest is worked in the round as a tube and then cut and shaped.
