Vintage Knitting is edited and written by Liza Hollinghurst aka Knit1Monkey on Ravelry.

Based on original knitting guides and patterns of the 1940s, this modern take on the vintage style handbook is perfect for anyone interested in the homemade styles of the ‘Golden Age’ of knitting. Presented in a charming vintage design, the book sets the scene with the development and popularity of knitting in the 1940s, before revealing the most popular, amusing and practical homemade garments of the era. As well as giving a taste of the famous ‘make do and mend’ spirit, it includes 18 original knitting patterns, along with a guide to the ‘Principles of Knitting’ and tips for the modern knitter, so that the patterns can be recreated with ease.
