Book, Knitting, Hand Knits by Villawool
This book was owned by the late Dr Elizabeth Kerr and was donated to the Museum by the executor of her estate, Margaret Cameron. It was produced by the Villawood Textile Company of Sydney and contains knitting patterns for womens garments. It is the first edition of 'Hand Knits' and is dated Autumn / Winter 1959. This introduction mentions "the continued trend of quick-to-knit casuals, partly attributable to television...", thus the models used are TV personalities and stage actors (Bettina Welch, Pat Firman, Ronald Frazer, Lyle O'Hara, Wilson Irving, Kevin Colson, Del Cartwright) and some of the photography took place in the studios of Channel 7 in Sydney. The photography was by Herbert Brown of the Max Dupain Studios and Ingrid Robinson Pty Ltd provided the slacks and skirts.Hand Knits / by / Villawool / 3'6knitting handicrafts - history, villawood textile company ingrid robinson pty ltd, brown, mr herbert, knitting, handicrafts - history -
