If you like this video, then you should definitely check out my other video, where I make a servicewoman's knit vest from a Canadian Red Cross knitting booklet. It also touches a bit on historical knitting, specifically about wartime knitting in World War Two with some amazing audio clips from the war years, 1939-1945 both from soldiers on the frontlines as well as civilians on the home front who talk about knitting for the war, and knitting for victory. #wartimeknits #vintageknitting #WW2Knits
