Yarn Harlot

ebook
One woman shares hilarious personal stories of her obsession, frustration, reflection, and fun with knitting.
An obsessed knitter who can't seem to put the needles down, author Stephanie Pearl-McPhee reveals the tangled and sometimes maniacal path of her knitting triumphs and disasters in Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter.
Sharing both humorous and poignant tales of knitting escapades, such as fleeing from a yarn-thieving squirrel, dismantling a car to find a vital needle, and what it feels like to wrap a newborn baby in the work of your own hands. Yarn Harlot exposes the extreme sport of knitting, and adventure that can be fulfilling, exasperating, and wickedly funny.
From the moment Stephanie's family discovers that she has taken to storing yarn in the piano to her attempts to foist knitted socks on a friend with a wool "allergy," Yarn Harlot looks at knitting with humor, insight, and sympathy for the obsessed.
"Stephanie Pearl-McPhee turns both typical and unique knitting experiences into very funny and articulate prose." —Meg Swansen, Schoolhouse Press
"An intimate view of the passionate knitter's psyche: a transport of hilarity for knitters and the knitted-for; I laughed until my stitches fell helplessly from my needles!"—Lucy Neatby, author of Cool Socks Warm Feet
"A sort of David Sedaris-like take on knitting—laugh-out-loud funny most of the time and poignantly reflective when it's not cracking you up." —Library Journal
