KNITSKRIEG A call to yarns!
(Unicorn £18.99) ISBN 9781-9105-00330
An unusual but fascinating book charting the history of knitting for our military forces. Starting with the Crimean War it runs right through to the present day with many colour photos and illustrations.
It was a serious business during the 19th and early 20th centuries, with women at home doing their bit for those overseas. This is a genuinely interesting book and possibly unique in military history. (144pp, hardback)
