Spool Knitting by Mary A. McCormack. Published 1909 (Book Review)
MKG Cable Gram - Volume 18, Number 3
My 93-year-old grandmother is my handcraft hero, so it is fitting that I found this little book at an antique shop visit made during the trek along the St. Croix Valley, from her home to mine. It is a slim red hardcover volume (only 68 pages), perfect in condition, originally owned by Ester Nyström At $12 it seemed a bit expensive, but I could not resist this gem with its extensive directions for constructing and using spool knitters, many little patterns, and charming old photographs.
