About the Author:
James Norbury was a knitwear designer, the host of his own BBC knitting show, a foremost knitting historian, and the author of Traditional Knitting Patterns. He said of himself, "I was a foolhardy lover who has always been prepared to throw his loyalty and devotion at the feet of Mistress Knitting."
Review:
[In the late 1960s] there was a chap called James Norbury, who had his own knitting show on the BBC. I sat in on some of the programmes, and good stuff it was, too. I learned lots of racy stuff about 'knit one, purl one'--Sir David Attenborough Knitting is the saving of a life--Virginia Woolf The strongest single influence in British knitting--Richard Rutt, author of 'A History of Hand Knitting'
