Please note that copyright concerns let me present this bibliography of
knitting articles in scholarly databases, but prevent me from quoting
the abstract. I will paraphrase the abstract as best I can, but do so
without reading the articles directly. My objectives are to compile a
bibliography of scholarly articles on knitting and knitted fabric,
encouraging a dissemination of information from sources that may not be
available to the average knitter, thereby providing a bridge to that
information. I also cite the database, so that readers can find access
to the original citation and abstract, and be able to ask more easily
for an inter-library loan.
Articles are divided into the following categories, and are in
alphabetical order by author within each category.
Categories:
Commercial Textile Industry articles
General Knitting Citations
Sociological Articles
