Book excerpt: Charting over 100 years of knitwear history, Vintage Fashion Knitwear is a visual journey of fashion knitwear from the introduction of fashion handknitting to the current technical innovations that enable the designer to push the boundaries of knitwear. Fascinating archive images, stunning fashion photography and specially commissioned photographs of period fashions showcase the most collectable and innovative pieces ever made. The book looks at the development of knitwear during the turn of the 20th century, then charts the influence of Modernism in the 1920s, the emergence of the iconic Chanel two piece cardigan suit and sportswear, the Art Deco 1930s, and the wartime 'make do and mend' designs of the 1940s. By the 1950s cashmere twin sets and beaded sweaters became the casual uniform for women, while 1960s Op Art and psychedelia led to 1970s arts and crafts influences, moving on to the luxury knits of the 1980s. Each decade ends with a 'key looks' feature showcasing all the important shapes, patterning and designs that defined the time period. Vintage Fashion Knitwear concludes with a final chapter on the 1990s to the present day, looking at the work that is sure to become collectables of the future, including offerings from Alexander McQueen, Bella Freud, Louise Goldin and Julien Macdonald.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-one patterns presenting authentic period designs for women, cleverly updated for the modern knitter. Today, a new generation of knitters has discovered the pleasure of creating wonderful things by hand. At many colleges it seems as if the whole campus is knitting, and knitting classes and forums are mushrooming: there are even knitting events held at theaters and nightclubs. The knitters of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s needed no reminding that knitting is hugely rewarding. They knew it could be glamorous too, and wore with pride the elegant garments they had crafted. Vintage designs for women are wonderfully feminine and flattering, and they have become highly collectible. But the frustrating truth is that old patterns rarely produce satisfactory results for today's knitters: they are often frighteningly intricate, the yarns used then produced different gauges from today's yarns, and the sizes are too small in relation to our modern physiques. In Vintage Knitwear, the designs have been carefully adapted for contemporary knitters: they use modern yarns, the patterns have been subtly simplified, and instructions are given for six different sizes. There are options for the novice, intermediate, and experienced knitter, with each pattern graded with one, two, or three balls of wool according to level of difficulty. The new garments are pictured alongside reproductions from the vintage patterns that inspired them. This charming book is sure to inspire knitters and would-be knitters to take up their needles in pursuit of the authentic elegance of a bygone era. 101 illustrations, 67 in color.
