Bibliography - Jumpers, Jumpers, Jumpers

I have chosen to look at a range of books for this part of my research. 

I want to fully know what I am aiming to do before I set out in trying to make this book. 

This means a knowledge in knitting patterns, a wide range of different styles and prints on jumpers, learning to knit (simply) and a knowledge of fashion photography. 

These are my initial 5 books.
