EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image is taken from the pages of The Needle Worker, a popular British magazine dedicated to the art of knitting, published in March 1915. The cover features a heartfelt poem by Jessie Pope titled "The Knitting Song," which reflects the national mania for knitting comforts for the troops during the First World War. The poem's opening lines, "Come, my pretties, come, my darlings, gather round, / And I'll tell you a tale of knitting renown," call on readers to join the wartime effort by knitting socks, scarves, and other essentials for soldiers and boys on the front lines. The image of a woman intently focused on her knitting, with her determined expression and the pile of yarn and finished items at her side, symbolizes the dedication and sacrifice of countless women who answered the call to arms in this unique way. The war effort was a powerful motivator for women to learn to knit or to hone their skills, and The Needle Worker played a crucial role in providing instruction and inspiration. The First World War brought about a surge in the popularity of knitting, with millions of items produced and sent to the troops. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the important role that women played in the war effort, and the enduring power of creativity and community during times of crisis.
