A knitting book on audio--is that possible? Yes, if itÕs a book about impassioned knitters. Several years ago, Melanie Falick, author of popular knitting books, decided to interview all kinds of fiber-loving people. The result is a charming collection of portraits of America Ôs shepherds, dyers, spinners, and knitters. FalickÕs writing is quiet, and at first Christine Marshall sounds too lively for the almost passive prose. But soon, the writing in this abridgment tightens, and MarshallÕs phrasing and tone settle down. The result is an inviting, informative five hours that will entertain anyone interested in fabric crafts and/or knitting. A.C.S. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine--
