From booties and scarves to art and fashion, "The Culture of
Knitting" addresses knitting since 1970. Investigating knitting as
art, craft, design, fashion, performance and as an aspect of the
everyday, the text uncovers the cultural significance of knitting.
Drawing on a variety of sources, including interviews with knitters
from different disciplines as well as amateurs, the text breaks
down hierarchical boundaries and stereotypical assumptions that
have hitherto negated the academic study of knitting, and it
highlights the diversity and complexity of knitting in all its
guises. "The Culture of Knitting" investigates not merely why
knitting is so popular now, but the reasons why knitting has such
longevity. By assessing the literature of knitting, manuals,
patterns, social and regional histories, alongside testimonial
discussions with artists, designers, craftspeople and amateurs, it
offers new ways of seeing, new methods of critiquing knitting,
without the constraints of disciplinary boundaries in the hope of
creating an environment in which knitting can be valued, recognized
and discussed.
