ALMOST AS GOOD AS YARN

This series of books just keeps getting better and better. I wish I didn't read them so fast, or that they could publish them faster! Every knitter or wool lover should own them. They are a way of drawing all of us, knitters and woolgathers, together on a spiritual level, and a humorous level. Don't deprive yourself of the pleasure! They are SO worth the investment.

"Knit on, with confidence and hope, through all crises"

Words almost fail me. KnitLit the Third is so good, I'm handing it around to people who don't even care about knitting. This book has stories written about the extraordinary in the ordinary; an adopted child from China, a magical encounter with a ruffed grouse, a mother, a daughter, the loss of children, finding oneself. The KnitLit series started out with an excellent first two volumes, but the third in the series is by far the finest. This is writing that makes you gasp as if you were pricked by a pin or struck by lightning. Yes, knitting is the thread that links the stories together but it's a lot more than that. If you admire good essay writing, you have to read this. Maybe Elizabeth Zimmermann, author of "Knitting Without Tears" said it best: "Knit on, with confidence and hope, through all crises."
