Download or read book Canada Knits written by Shirley A. Scott and published by Warwick Pub.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "None of us needs to be reminded that for much of the year Canada is a bitterly cold country. But, out of this adversity has sprung a genuinely Canadian folk art with a truly practical purpose - warmth and style. The history of hand-knit garments in Canada - from toques and scarves to sweaters and blankets - is an honourable and varied one that has fulfilled two primal needs - insulation and decoration - for many generations of Canadians. Not surprisingly, this craft shows no signs of dying out: to the contrary, demand for hand-knit garments has never been greater, and the proliferation of wool shops, knitting clubs, and how-to books testifies to the ever-increasing popularity of hand knitting in Canada. In Canada Knits, Shirley Scott, a self-described 'fifth generation Canadian born into a family of knitters', explores the history of Canadian knitting through diaries, memoirs, anecdotes, and oral histories. She uncovers instances of famous Canadians who were knitters, from Arctic explorers and labour leaders to hockey players, missionaries, and perhaps even a Father of Confederation. Queen Elizabeth II wore baby clothes made by Canadian knitters and each of her children has worn Canadian-knit sweaters. Like knitting itself, Canada Knits will provide hours of joy and enlightenment. Sure to become a treasured artefact both for knitters and for lovers of Canadian folklore." --
