Yarn
Yarn: Remembering the Way Home | Kyoko Mori
5 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A memoir of crossing cultures, losing love, and finding home by a New York Times notable author. As steadily and quietly as her marriage falls apart, so Kyoko Mori's understanding of knitting deepens. From flawed school mittens to beautiful unmatched patterns of cardigans, hats and shawls, Kyoko draws the connection between knitting and the new life she tried to establish in the U.S. Interspersed with the story of knitting throughout, the narrative contemplates the nature of love, loss, and what holds a marriage together.

@steverogers asked, what I spend my money on if its not on books.

Yarn, preferably some fancy 100% virgin wool or a wool-silk-blend to make shawls.
Notebooks, then I only write a few things into them. 🙈
Lush & The Body Shop products (not pictured).

maximoffs Ooh thanks for tagging me! I love notebooks too (and obviously lush 😂) 7y
julesG @steverogers One can never have too much Lush. Although I'm going to explore "Neal's Yard" some time this week. --- oh, and I forgot: (fountain) pens. I have a lot, from cheap to expensive. Would love a vintage Mont Blanc but must rob the Bank of England first. ? 7y
AmandaL Books and yarn! 💕 7y

HannaPolkadots @julesG - if you are interested in pens I recommend checking out woodartno on etsy. They are so beautiful and I wish I could afford to buy them all 😍😉 I also love buying yarn btw 😀 7y
Eridau Books and yarn for me too! What is your favorite wool brand? I'm always looking for new ones to try. 7y
CouronneDhiver Lush ❤️❤️❤️ 7y
silentrequiem Yarn! And spinning fiber to make yarn! 7y
julesG @HannaPolkadots Oh, don't tempt me. 🙈 Those pens are gorgeous. @Eridau I absolutely love Wollmeise yarn, Malabrigo and Tosh. All posh, I know. I try independent dyers from time to time. There are so many. I've a friend who only buys Hedgehog Fibres. I always think, I will let the yarn run through my fingers for hours, I want to wear this handknit garment, so I should use yarn that makes me happy. 7y
julesG @silentrequiem Spinning! I admire anyone who takes the time to spin their own yarn. I gave it up, because I thought it was eating up my knitting time. Do you use a drop spindle or a wheel? 7y
silentrequiem @julesG I have wheel. I used spindle but it was awful on my shoulder. So I splurged on a wheel. Are you on rav? 7y
julesG @silentrequiem Yes, same user name: JulesG 7y
silentrequiem I'll find you! I'm also silentrequiem over there. 🐑 7y
Eridau @julesG I 💗malabrigo and madelinetosh too! Those are my go to favorites. I have yet to try Wollmeise but it's on my list to acquire. 7y

Perhaps it goes without saying that I'm not at all a knitter; regardless, I was intrigued, flipping through this memoir at the bookstore the other day. Didn't buy it, though.

saresmoore I just can't imagine this being interesting at all. 8y
shawnmooney @saresmoore (knits brow) 😂 8y
LeahBergen @saresmoore You're just being anti-knittist ... what if it was a crochet memoir? 😂😂 8y

SaturnDoo 🤔being a crocheter, I would buy this because of the title AND the cover 😂 8y
Simona But did you buy Dear Life??? 8y
saresmoore @LeahBergen You're onto me! Haha! No, I would still think that was boring. Not that one couldn't get plenty of yardage out of the yarn metaphor. 😏 8y
britt_brooke This looks like something my MIL would read. 🙃 8y
