Knitting Reference Library

Anyone who enjoys knitting or crocheting (or who enjoys donning knit goods) will want to check out the Internet Archive's delightful Knitting Reference Library. Here, visitors will find a wealth of materials about knitting across time and geography, courtesy of the University of Southampton's Library Digitisation Unit. These items can be browsed in a number of ways; for new visitors, they are perhaps most enjoyably browsed by date published. Included items span from the 544-page publication dedicated to the history of British cotton production (1835) to a cover image for a Sirdar crochet pattern for a vest (1971). Other featured items include a 1911 crocheting guide (which includes patterns for a "bath slipper" and for "drawers for a child"); and an 1885 guide from the Nonotuck Silk Company entitled "How to Use Florence Knitting Silk."
