EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative cover image showcases Her Excellency's Knitting Book, a treasured relic from New Zealand's involvement in the First World War. Published in August 1915, this 193-page book was the brainchild of Lady Liverpool (Annette Liverpool), a prominent figure in New Zealand society. The book was produced as a means for women to contribute to the war effort by knitting comforts for the troops. The front cover illustration depicts a group of determined women, each focused intently on their knitting needles, as they create items such as socks and balaclavas for the soldiers marching off to the front lines. The book's compact size ensured that it could easily fit inside a woman's knitting bag, making it a convenient and portable companion for those who wished to help in this unique way. The patterns contained within Her Excellency's Knitting Book were designed specifically for the production of woollen comforts for the soldiers. These items not only provided warmth and practicality but also served as a symbol of love and support from the women back home. The book's historical significance lies in its role as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the women of New Zealand during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty. As the First World War raged on, this humble knitting book became an essential tool in the creation of handknitted comforts for the ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) troops. The instructions and patterns within its pages allowed women to make a tangible difference in the lives of the soldiers, fostering a sense of unity and purpose during this pivotal moment in history.
