How does knitting help us get through life-changing events and inspire joy? In Knitting Yarns: Writers on Knitting, Ann Hood has collected original essays by twenty-seven writers including Anita Shreve, Elizabeth Berg, Ann Patchett, Barbara Kingsolver and our beloved Martha Frankel, Executive Director of the Woodstock Writers Festival. Knitting Yarns tells stories about how knitting healed, challenged, or helped these writers grow. Andre Dubus III tells how knitting a Christmas gift for his blind aunt helped him knit an understanding with his girlfriend. Kaylie Jones finds the woman who cared for her as a child by using knitting to heal old wounds. Sue Grafton writes about her passion for knitting. And knitting goddess Helen Bingham has created five original patterns for the anthology. Poignant, funny, and moving, Knitting Yarns is sure to delight knitting enthusiasts and lovers of literature alike.
