Sometimes it happened slowly over the years through multiple makers, other times, we see necessity cause dramatic shifts in knitting: in wartime, craft can take on a new meaning in urgency. This issue credits the knitters who appreciate the value of quality craftsmanship and low history – people who enjoy knitting traditions. The beautifully recreated pieces using techniques and patterns that have traveled across time and space. Inna Voltchkova’s Simple in Russian Scarf is a classic Orenburg project while Katrina King’s stole shows how the same traditions can adapt to new colors, shapes, and techniques. Vintage Fashions and Victorian patterns still inspire us today: our projects include a Spencer jacket, shawls, hats, and bags reminiscent of English traditions, plus and array of swatches and edgings from nineteenth-century magazines. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStories and Projects included in this issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Knitter that Never Was\u003c\/strong\u003e by Christopher John Brooke Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnit, Purl, Heal\u003c\/strong\u003e by Mary Polityka Bush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMuffatees for a Man\u003c\/strong\u003e by Mary Polityka Bush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatriotic Knitting Bags and Tools for World Wars\u003c\/strong\u003e by Karen C.K.
