Exercises in Knitting, is many of the old classic books which have been considered important throughout the human history. They are now extremely scarce and very expensive antique. So that this work is never forgotten we republish these books in high quality, using the original text and artwork so that they can be preserved for the present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies of their original work and hence the text is clear and readable.
Antique patterns with antique terminology. Not decipherable to the new or beginner knitter but Ravelry has been a help to look some of them up. More nostalgic for me than anything else. Free kindle download through the Gutenberg project.
This is more of a reference book. It gives the reader a lot of information about knitting in the 1800's, but is less useful today. It is very interesting.
