Great read! A collector of anything will relate to these essays. You don‘t have to be a knitter. 🧶

Substitute the word reader for knitter and book for yarn. 😄 Spot on!
For my new found obsession! 🧶
It isn‘t the only reason I‘ve been MIA from Litsy. I‘m halfway through a master‘s capstone seminar I started last month, so I‘ve been occupied. Light at the end of the tunnel! 😅
Fixed the sweater I made for this guy last year but not happy with the mend. It was definitely one of those days! Try again tomorrow lol #knitting #knitsy
I love stashing yarn as much as I love knitting with it!♥️ 🧶 #booksaboutknitting #knitting #yarn #yarnstash #handcrafts #knittersoflitsy #readingandknitting
The best review I can give this is that it inspired me to pick up my knitting again after several months of slump...! As with any collection, the essays are uneven; the best ones are concrete stories rather than generalized musings. There‘s enough texture in the collection not to get (too) samey. A nice read and would make a good gift.
Today in rather excellent essay starters:
Just started reading this, and am amazed at how talking about yarn can make me nostalgic and actually teary! So far, the essays are very good. #knitlit #yarnstash #craftlit #knittersoflitsy
My Christmas present book haul.
This was a great before-bed read. I read an essay or two a night and made my way through the book over a few weeks. The collection featured a lot of stories that echoed my own experiences, so it really resonated with me. My knitting journey was and is closely tied to the loss of my mom, and it was so helpful to know that I am not alone in my experience.
I‘m thinking of purchasing this book because I would love to join the knitting community and feel that connection, which I know this book touches on. I crochet but was needing something that is easier on my arthritic hands. Can anyone recommend any resources for a newbie who happens to also be a leftie?
