Here’s a great thing that happened…both of my daughters, unbeknownst
to them, gave me the same book The great thing about it was that it was knitting yarns-writers on knitting. The book combines two of my favorite things…reading
and knitting!
As the title implies, the book is a set of essays by various
authors (men and women) who knit. They
wrote essays about knitting and how knitting has related to their lives. Some of the authors who contributed to the
book are some of my favorite authors such as: Elizabeth Berg, Andre Dubus III, Hope Edelman,
Sue Grafton, Ann Hood, Barbara Kingsolver, Ann Patchett, Anita Shreve, and Jane
Smiley.
Some of the essays were great, others not as much. But I still enjoyed reading them all and
could usually relate to all of them.
Some of the authors even included a favorite knitting pattern!
I recommend the book for anyone who loves to knit, or just
loves knitted things! It was a great
gift to receive! (My second copy went to my favorite knit shop for others to
enjoy while there!).
