About this book

Canada Knits: Craft and Comfort in a Northern Land by Shirley A. Scott. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780075499732.

None of us needs to be reminded that for much of the year Canada is a bitterly cold country. But, out of this adversity has sprung a genuinely Canadian folk art with a truly practical purpose -- warmth and style. The history of hand-knit garments in Canada -- from toques and scarves to seaters and blankets -- is an honourable and varied one that has fulfilled two primal needs -- insulation and decoration -- for many generations of Candadians.
