Description
Just as unique as the words that have been spoken by these women are the projects inspired by them. Each one has been crafted to display historically based techniques and traditional stitch motifs, while appealing to the modern knitter. This is how Donna and I speak of our cause. We see a need to learn from past knitters to make our knitting better. Please keep in mind that each time you pick up your needles and yarn, you can demonstrate that there are many ways for knitters’ voices to speak out. -co-author Ava Coleman-
