This is an essay collection by writers who have some connection to knitting. My mom gifted it to me years ago, but I’m glad I chose to finally read it now. It was so sweet and a truly enjoyable read. I happen to be currently teaching a young girl how to knit, and reading about other people learning was a great reminder. What comes so naturally to my hands is a foreign procedure to newbies. This book seemingly unlocked some memories of my own:  teaching myself how to knit, alone with a book in my elementary school library. Don’t know how I did it pre-YouTube! My favorite story by far was about a man who knits sweaters for his chihuahua. (I actually burst into happy tears while reading that one!). I discovered some great new writers, along with a renewed appreciation for the craft of knitting.
