Review
KnitLit, The Third is a collection of writings and poetry about knitting. There are some wonderful and poignant submissions in this book. Some have made me laugh and reminded me of my own knitting follies while others have made me cry as writers relate connections to knitting through tender and heartfelt moments.
Some of the contributors include: Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (of Yarn Harlot fame), Suzanne Cody authoer of The Knitter’s Gift, and Susan Gordon Lydon authoer of The knitting Sutra.
I’ve really enjoyed reading the stories in this book even if it has kept me from my own knitting! If you need a break from knitting and want a good read that is knitting related, I highly recommend this book
Product Description
Whether you’re a veteran knitter or brand-new to the needles, KnitLit creators Linda Roghaar and Molly Wolf welcome you into their ever-growing circle with KnitLit the Third, an all-new collection of stories about the ups, downs, ins, and outs of knitting.
With more than seventy contributors casting on here, you’ll meet enthusiasts—okay, knit-aholics—who know the frustration of having one’s needles confiscated at the airport. You’ll sympathize with owners of lush “problem skeins” that are impossible to knit. You’ll encounter the mysteries of never-matching baby booties–and the adventures of one suspicious knitter who’s convinced that a fellow knitting blogger is really a celebrity author in disguise. For those who approach this art from a more spiritual perspective, there are the stories that remind us of the power of a simple stitch. From the mother whose project provides comfort during her troubled pregnancy to a woman compelled to make dozens of blankets for Afghan refugees, each knitted and purled row offers the potential to heal ourselves.
And so we spin on. KnitLit the Third is the latest in a pattern of poignant, hilarious, bittersweet, and inspiring yarns—created by and for lovers of the craft.
