A lovely, literary collection which will make the perfect gift for that 'knitter who has everything

Universal experiences of knitters from a range of backgrounds are provided in twenty-three short essays and stories about knitted items, knitting, and crocheting. Here's a blend of philosophy and insights from knitting ranging from a woman who found solace in knitting after a miscarriage to sheep shearing reflections. Knitting Yarns And Spinning Tales is a lovely, literary collection which will make the perfect gift for that 'knitter who has everything'.

Knitting Yarns and Spinning Tales brings to life the unique and universal experiences of knitters from a variety of backgrounds. This exceptional collection combines lighthearted essays with more philosophical pieces from authors and experts such as Meg Swansen, Perri Klass, Lily Chin, Teva Durham, Lela Nargi, Susan Gordon Lydon, Suzyn Jackson, Amy Singer, Greta Cunningham, Laura Billings, Kay Dorn, Betty Christiansen, and Jennifer Hansen, who put down their needles long enough to share their thoughts and musings about the popular pastime.

In these entertaining yarns, the authors provide insight into the warmth and enjoyment of knitting and crocheting. Join one writer as she shares a poignant Sunday afternoon in March shearing sheep with her father; travel to Sant ?Arsenio, Italy, where women gather on their door steps to knit, crochet, embroider, and chat; laugh at one woman?s memories of learning to knit in an uncomfortable classroom chair beside a World War II vet named Max; and smile at the essays that delve into the psyche of the knitter.

If you live to knit, enjoy the companionship of other knitters, or appreciate the intricate handiwork of a handmade sweater, Knitting Yarns and Spinning Tales is a must-read!
