This beautiful book brings together a celebration of the group of eighteenth-century learned women known as the Bluestockings, with a wide-ranging exploration of sock and stocking knitting.
The book features different perspectives on the history of socks and stockings, essays about creative eighteenth-century women, and contemporary toe-up patterns for socks and stockings. Among the Bluestocking-inspired designs you’ll find stripes, chevrons, stranded colourwork, and a go-to sock and stocking recipe named for talented eighteenth-century classicist (and knitter) Elizabeth Carter.
