The New York Times–bestselling author of Yarn Harlot returns with more witty stories about knitting, motherhood, friendship, and more.
In this all-new collection of yarns, New York Times–bestselling author and self-proclaimed yarn Harlot Stephanie Pearl-McPhee is all wound up about life, motherhood, losing her beloved washing machine, and, of course, knitting.
With trademark humor and wit that have sustained her through thick and thin, including a few misshapen sweaters and an indoor water balloon fight among her otherwise darling daughters, Pearl-McPhee deftly examines knitting, parenting, friendship, and—gasp!—even crocheting in essays that are at times touching, often hilarious, and always entertaining.
Praise for Yarn Harlot
"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
"Pearl-McPhee turns both typical and unique knitting experiences into very funny and articulate prose." —Meg Swansen, Schoolhouse Press
"I laughed until my stitches fell helplessly from my needles!" —Lucy Neatby, author of Cool Socks Warm Feet

      In her latest collection of humorous anecdotes, Pearl-McPhee (Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter) tackles plenty of her usual themes--managing your yarn stash, balancing family and knitting, and coping with nonknitters who don't understand the compulsive desire to knit. The essays include an amusing look at a much-loved washing machine; a eulogy for an unattractive, half-finished cardigan; and a surprisingly touching story of how a geeky teen has found herself, as an adult, sitting at the "cool table" of knitters. No patterns here--just light humor that will please fans of Pearl-McPhee's popular blog and her previous books. [Previewed in "Booked Solid: Fall Finds from BEA 2011," LJ 7/11.]
