Early 20th Century Knitting Manuals // Casual Friday 3-07

In this week's podcast, I long to see the knitted silk undershirt Charles I wore to his execution, I do a mock-up sleeve for my Roaring '20s sweater to test its poofing ability, and I receive the first of eleven mid-century knitting manuals I will use to explore the evolution of knitting techniques throughout the 20th century.
