EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a treasured relic from the past: a Useful Knitting Case produced by J. C. Vickery in 1914. As the world was embroiled in the First World War (WW1), the spirit of unity and support for the soldiers at the front was palpable. Knitting became a popular pastime, not only as a means of creating essential warm clothing for the troops but also as a way to contribute to the war effort and keep morale high. The Useful Knitting Case, with its elegant design and practical functionality, was an ideal gift for Christmas 1914. The case is fitted with an array of high-quality accessories, including excellent bone and steel needles, crochet hooks, and wool hooks, ensuring that knitters had all they needed to create their contributions. The compact and sturdy case protected these essential tools, making it an indispensable companion for those devoted to their craft. The image of this knitting case transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the collective spirit and resilience that emerged during the First World War, as people came together to provide comfort and support to those on the front lines. Today, this historical artifact stands as a testament to the power of community and the enduring appeal of the simple pleasure of knitting.
