Knitter's Review
July 29, 2004

 I love learning about history, especially when it is presented within a familiar context.
That's exactly what Anne Macdonald does in No Idle Hands: The Social History of American Knitting. The book offers an enlightening look at how knitting has shaped women's lives throughout American history. Lucky for us, it's back in print, and I review it this week.
