This is the education issue, so there are some articles on the different ways that information was passed down from one generation to the next or via books or manuals by like those by Louisa May Alcott or Elizabeth Zimmerman or Ann MacBeth, or through schooling.

The Rose Leaf Shawl by Carolyn Wyborny was inspired by the doilies of Herbert Nibling, a German knitting master. She also explains how one can take a doily pattern and turn it into a shawl. For the young, a doily was an astonishingly ornate flat piece of crochet or knitting that was put on a table as decoration and or to keep a vase of other item from scratching it; you can find them in antique stores and the amount of effort they took is astonishing. 

You can see on the cover a Pinwheel Scarf for left-handed crochet by Katrina King which takes inspiration from Weldon’s, a Victorian needlework compendium. Weldon’s in also the origins of the pair of blue, textured socks adapted by Liz Stewart. The last image is of a woman holding an example of Hungarian embroidery which is part of an article by Sarah Pedlow who also wrote the accompanying technical article explaining the stitch used.
