A book by British researcher Joan Turney offers a new perspective on this well-known type of needlework. Knitting has a rich history - not only as a specific technique of weaving threads, but also as a lifestyle. The author shows how the idea of knitting has changed since the 1970s to the present. The book is interesting for its breadth of methodological approaches: knitting and gender, knitting and power, knitting and postmodernism, knitting and feminist practices. Each chapter is devoted to a particular methodology and demonstrates the previously hidden meanings of knitting practice. The research materials are women's novels and detective stories, works by contemporary artists and oral narratives, knitting patterns and performances.
