I love how it matches her sweater perfectly. That is some fine attention to detail.

From the video description:

"How knitting rose from basic craft to the height of popular fashion in the 20th century. It's a craft that has given us scratchy jumpers, sexy bathing costumes and the infamous poodle loo cover, has sustained Britain through the hardships of war and shown a mother's love to generations of little ones. Today, knitwear has become a staple of every wardrobe thanks to a prince's golfing taste, The Beatles and 80s breakfast television. Warm-hearted and surprising, this is the story of the people's craft, and a very British one at that."

The pattern is from a booklet of knitting patterns the women at home would use to support their men in the field.

From the video description:

"Most new knitters start by making a scarf. The first thing this artist ever knitted was an Irish fisherman's sweater. Both unconventional and frugal - and always up for a challenge - he sources his fiber from thrift-store sweaters and then up-cycles the yarn into new items, such as hats and blankets."

A Father Transformed Data of his Son’s First Year of Sleep into a Knitted Blanket (article below)     (www.thisiscolossal.com)

"Seung Lee tracked the first year of his baby’s sleep schedule with the BabyConnect app, which lets you export data to CSV. Choosing to work with six minute intervals, Lee then converted the CSVs into JSON (using Google Apps Script and Python) which created a reliable pattern for knitting. The frenetic lines at the top of the blanket indicate the baby’s unpredictable sleep schedule right after birth. We can see how the child grew into a more reliable schedule as the lines reach more columnar patterns."

This rules. I'll have to find a similar knitting pattern for big projects like this. Maybe to protect a garden from deer?

1964: SHETLAND SHAWLS are more valuable than GOLD - BBC Archive     (youtu.be)
submitted by NeedleStack to Knitting 1.3 years ago (+11/-0)

From the video description:

Cathal O'Shannon reports from Unst, northernmost of the inhabited British Isles, where he has discovered a material more valuable than gold or platinum - the island's intricate gossamer shawls.

Shetland shawls are made from the gossamer wool that surrounds the neck of Shetland sheep, which must be hand-plucked, not sheared. There are fewer than half a dozen people left with the skill to spin this incredibly fine wool into thread, and a single shawl can use as much as six miles of the stuff. Allied to the relative scarcity of the material, there are perhaps as few as a dozen women capable of knitting these extraordinary garments - which can incorporate more than half a million loops - so they're probably only going to get more valuable.

This clip is from Tonight. Originally broadcast 5 May, 1964.

A solution for cold feet, although making it a BMP might avoid the barrel issues.

I knit one very similar to this a few years ago and still use it. The great thing about cotton ones like this is you can toss it in the washer and dryer no problem.
