This book was a wonderful walk through history, showing how knitting was a part of everyday life through war and peace, poverty and prosperity. The author is indeed an historian, so the book is well researched from primary sources. The photographs and illustrations are great, too. See pictures of First Ladies knitting, children knitting, and some of the things they knit--both ordinary and unusual.

Accounts of some knitters' feats of knitting productivity during wartime might inspire you to pick up your needles and save the world!
