Socks made for Heaven
PieceWork’s 12th annual Historical Knitting issue focuses on
handknitted socks and stockings from around the world. We begin with a
fascinating and in-depth account of handknitted stockings from the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with Sylvie Odstrčilová. Mimi
Seyferth details the knitting that provides much-needed income for women
in Afghanistan. In addition to socks and stockings, Lea Stern tells the
moving story of one small green sweater made for a beloved
granddaughter that survived the Holocaust in Poland. The stories will
leave you with a full heart, and the five included projects will fill
your needles as you re-create these historical socks and stockings. Join
us for a truly amazing glimpse into knitting’s rich, varied, and long
history with the January/February 2018 issue of PieceWork.
