"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."

From the description:

"This is an historically accurate pattern brought up -to-date for the contemporary knitter. The original pattern is Rifle Mittens for Infantry on page 67 in Knitting and Sewing: How to Make Useful Articles for Men in the Army and Navy by Maud Churchill Nicoll, George H. Doran Company (1918).

Infantry men needed protection from the cold but required bare trigger finger and thumb in order to shoot. This accessory, worked in fingering weight wool, provided warmth without compromising tactile sensation.

The pattern sample was knit in Karabella Aurora 4 which is a sport weight yarn, but a fingering weight yarn also produces a men’s medium, while DK weight knit with an appropriate size needle to a gauge of 22 stitches in 4 inches produces a men’s size large mitten."

I had been knitting the regular American way for a couple of years before I came across these guys' videos.

Knitting the Scandinavian way is so much easier because you don't have to 'throw' your yarn onto the needle (those who knit will know). And purling the Scandinavian way is much easier and actually fun!

So if you try out knitting, I highly recommend learning the Norwegian/Scandi way.
