New Huffman Holidays: Scrittori Stocking Kit
The charted patterns in the Scrittori Stocking were inspired from early illuminated manuscripts created in medieval monasteries. During the Middle Ages, most people could not read. The Latin phrase pictura est laicorum literatura, meaning “the picture is the layman’s literature,” was coined by the monks to describe the importance of the visual image for the education of society.
