Has anyone come across the original German article of Johann Beckmann's history of sock knitting? Published in Beyträge zur Geschichte der Erfindugen, possibly volume 4, but looking at the content (in fraktus script) didn't show it. #TextileHistory #FashionHistory #HistoryOfKnitting

I'm currently rereading No Idle Hands The Social History Of American Knitting by Anne L. Macdonald (1988). It's rich in story. Unfortunately no audio reading of it to listen to while I knit!
