Not my review, but one I am impressed by.

Richard Rutt’s History of Handknitting is widely regarded as THE history to go to.  I’ve had  HoH on my wishlist since it was waved in my face at Gulf Wars when I said ‘isn’t knitting as we know it almost out of period?’  (It was.)  Well, Kate has a few interesting problems with Mr. Rutt.

I’m currently rather interested in how knitting got to Europe – I’ve heard of the Spanish cushion, and am aware of the probably-nalbinding Egyptian cotton socks.  Anybody?
