Knitting Around the World: A Multistranded History of a Time-Honored Craft by Lela Nargi traces the global story of knitting through 2011’s richly illustrated Voyageur Press hardcover. The 264-page art-and-culture volume pairs archival images with modern color photography, all protected by a crisp dust jacket.
From Shetland lace to Andean chullos, Nargi’s non-fiction narrative visits more than twenty countries, spotlighting regional techniques, folklore, and the people who kept traditions alive. Leisure hobbyists and history buffs alike will appreciate the detailed patterns, timelines, and biographical sidebars woven through every chapter.
This gently used copy arrives smoke-free with tight binding, clean unmarked pages, and no dog-eared corners—ready for display or gifting. The generous visuals make it as much coffee-table eye candy as practical reference for knitters seeking worldwide inspiration.
