ld began to introduce imaginative suggestions
of the domestic background of the Holy Family. A few of them show Mary
knitting’ (1987, p.57). Depicting Mary as the ideal mother figure and therefore
showing her knitting, subsequently providing clothes for her family and a means
to keep warm, portrays Mary as a domestic goddess. This shows how valuable knitting
was to this era that they would show a religious figure knitting without the
general public thinking it was blasphemous and black listing the artist.
Instead they saw it as someone to look up to and aspire to be, by knitting for
their family. In the 16th Century the
popularity of knitting peaked again. Jonas B. Aiken’s book ‘Treatise on the Art
of Knitting’ speaks of the first pair of silk knit stockings in England and
there subsequent effect on a nation, ‘…Queen Elizabeth…was presented by her silk
woman with a pair of black silk knit stockings…and was so delighted with them
as to never wear those made of cloth afterwards’ (1861, p.5). Aiken’s goes on
to say, ‘So highly was the new fabric esteemed, that it immediately went into
general use. Knitting became fashionable in every circle of society…it was
eagerly and ambitiously learned and practised in princely halls and royal
palaces’. At this time the royal family and wealthy aristocrats were the only
celebrity the general public had. They loved hearing gossip about them and told
their life stories to each other. Anything the royals they looked up to had the
people wanted. Therefore when Queen Elizabeth loved her knitted silk stockings
everyone else wanted them too and took up knitting to create their own.
Suddenly knitting was fashionable and everyone from servants to aristocrats
were finding value in knitting as a route to the higher classes. Elsewhere in Europe in the 17th and
18th Century knitting techniques progressed substantially. For instance, in
Scotland colour development lead to the invention of the Fair Isle technique.
Simultaneously in Ireland, on the Aran Isles, cable knitting of jumpers was
developed by fishermen’s wives for their husbands to wear while out at sea. The
technique added bulk to their sweaters, keeping them warm in the harsh Irish
weather. In ‘Knitting America, A Glorious Heritage from Warm Socks to High Art’
by Melanie Falick and Susan M. Strawn, states, ‘The handknitted garments of
these rustic people have developed a significance beyond their primary function
of protecting the wearer against biting ocean winds…their elaborate patterns
speak…of love, home, faith and work – the simple threads which form the fabric
of Aran life’ (2011, p.184). This shows that each country in Europe had
developed knitting in their own way as a response to that country’s wants and
needs. Then came the Industrial Revolution and with it came knitting machines.
This era saw knitting pushed into machine-made manufacturing, and suppliers
opened factories and exported around the world. Even though machine knitting
was in demand, hand knitting did not go out of fashion as the quality of hand
knitting far outweighed the quality of machine knitting according to Lisa
Bogart in ‘Knit with Love: Stories to Warm a Knitter's Heart’, ‘The hand-knit
versions were superior to the machine-made socks of the time’(2011, p.38). So even the Industrial Revolution
which destroyed most traditional crafts could not
