Knitlit: Sweaters and Their Stories...and Other Writing about Knitting |
For many across the country and around the world, knitting was already a hobby verging on an obsession. Now, thanks to stars like Julia Roberts, who admits to knitting maniacally on movie sets, and successful continuing education programs at outlets Like the Learning Annex, knitting has undergone such a resurgence in popularity that it's today's hottest hobby. This charming, irreverent collection of stories, essays, anecdotes, and recollections by knitters of every ilk celebrates an age-old hobby that is enjoying a hip rebirth.From the tale of the barfly whose knitting bag goes up in flames from a stray cigarette butt at the local pub, to the memoir of a grandma who, despite failing eyesight, creates the perfect afghan for her first great-grandchild, KnitLit gives Lifelong knitters a chance to enjoy one another's company and laugh at shared experiences, and it will hopefully inspire wannabes to take up the needles with gusto.
