a fun read

I recommended the authors knitting blog to a friend of mine. My friend surprised me by buying the book and having it sent to me. It was a great weekend read. I think anyone who's gone thru a breakup can relate to this book and have a great laugh too.

Loved it - Laurie's story resonates!

I loved this book! I bought it (and a copy for a friend) after coming across her blog one day. I am happily married, enjoy my wine now and then and, like Laurie, am usually wearing black pants covered from the knees down in hair from my mostly-white cats.

I like that this book is not just a rehash of her blog, and I like having all of her knitting "recipes" together in one place.

Laurie's writing can move you to laughter and tears, sometimes in the same sentence. Her words apply no matter what life situation you're dealing with, and her story is an inspiration to anyone who contemplates making a life change or has one thrust on her. Like knitting, if it's not working you can rip it out and do it over and even though it doesn't always turn out as you think it will, it's almost always better than it was! Read this book and give it to friends - it will resonate with all of them!

Great Book!!!!

I had read some of Laurie's blogs, and really thought this book was going to be all funny; it had plenty of fun, but so much soul searching and real honest emotions mixed in, for me it turned out to be a bit of a self help book without me even realizing it. She's an amazing author--to be able to blend all of the above together so seamlessly takes talent. The only thing I didn't like was the last page--I want more!

Very Funny

This book had me laughing out loud at parts! A quick read. Not all of it is great, but the parts that are make it worth it.

Returning to the Light

I greatly enjoyed reading this book -- especially after reading the author's blog for the past year. I feel as if I now have the "full story" and I can really relate to her feelings, struggles and eventual recovery from shock and despair. And I have to say her "recipes" for the knitted items are tops! I am making the second Magic Scarf from hand-dyed, hand-spun yarn that I made and I love this pattern! I am also planning to tackle the others. I can say that they are pretty basic patterns (I've made hats similar to these without any pattern at all) but when you just need something in your hands to distract your mind for a minute...or a few hours... these do fit the bill and the finished item is attractive and useful.
