The book includes a wonderful introduction with information about the origins of knitting.

A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns

In Walker’s introduction to her Second Treasury, she writes, “Some of the patterns in the this book are contemporary originals…Other patterns are traditional…I have resurrected these from old, forgotten books and translated them into modern terminology…Still other patterns have come from other areas of the world…Like music, knitting truly is a universal language.” Along with Knit Purl Combinations, Color and Mosaic patterns, Lace, Edgings, Borders and more, Walker has included a section on ‘Adapting Patterns for Circular Knitting.’
