Books by Susan Crawford
“Crawford has taken vintage designs and patterns, and made them size inclusive and accessible. If you’ve ever tried to look at an actual knitting pattern from the 1940s, you’ll know it is an A5 piece of paper, and you need a magnifying glass; you will be a size six, that’s the only option; and they’re written entirely in abbreviations. This book expands those instructions, and also literally expands the sizing, to make these vintage patterns actually accessible to modern knitters.” Read more...
