Book Description

March 31, 2009
And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
—1 Corinthians 13:13

Knitting the Way of Love

In Faith, Hope, Love, Knitting, Lorna Miser celebrates her passion for
knitting as a wonderful, exciting gift from God. Because it’s so much a
part of who she is, Lorna knits virtually everywhere she goes—but it isn’t
about using her time productively. Knitting gives her something far more
precious than anything she can make with yarn and needles: a way to
express her faith and love for others, and the blessings that have come
from the priceless connections she’s made with people. Each person has
been at the right place at the right time, for a reason—and Lorna has been
there, knitting, with a story to tell or an ear to lend, also for a reason.
In this book Lorna shares twenty-four of her most memorable stories,
each inspiring a beautiful knitting project. Join Lorna as she visits with
friends and family, laughs and sometimes cries—all while knitting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Wonderful Book May 20, 2009
Format:Hardcover
Faith, Hope, Love, Knitting by Lorna Miser, is a charming book that it's almost an autobiographical knitting project book. Lorna invites us to join her on her self-discovery trip. When she was a little girl her desire to knit was born while looking over her grandmother's shoulder and watching her while she knit. She believes that her knitting skills are a gift from God and how she meets invaluable connections she's made with people on her knitting journey. With these new friends she shares her stories and listens to theirs. Each project in the book in some way represents a person that she has become friends with and has encouraged her along the way. Of course, her grandmother was her first knitting instructor. Her grandmother prided herself in knitting amazing lace doilies on very thin needles. Although her grandmother was a very shy person she would take her finished doilies two different appointments and events to show others. Most people would be in awe of her talent and she would sell or take orders for her gorgeous doilies. The first project in this book is of grandmother's lace shawl.

Lorna's mother was a very frugal knitter and a seamstress. She never had a stash of materials or yarns laying around their house. She only bought yarn and material when she knew what she was going to create and when she was finished with the project she would create something from scrapped of fibers and never cast them aside as worthless. For some reason, I was very touched by this due to the fact, like Lorna I have so many skeins of yarn that I am sure I will never use. During this recessionary time we should all take a lesson from Lorna's mother.

This is such a lovely book. I'm a lifelong beginning knitter-- no fancy patterns for me! But this is inspiring me to learn some more. Her sweet stories show such a love for life as well as knitting. I recommend it highly!

Lorna Miser, the founder of the yarn company, Lorna's Laces, tells us interesting vignettes from her life and the lives of others and how knitting was a part of it. The gloves on the cover are among my least favorite of the projects, but I suppose they were chosen to illustrate offerings/labors of love/helping hands or something of the sort. My personal favorite is "Grandma's Lace Shawl," created in honor of her own Grandma Helen, and I think this project alone is worth the price of the book! Other charming, beautiful projects are the "Feminine Stretch Tank," which could also be worn as a vest and "Shanna's Cable and Lace Vest." Projects for the home, children, as well as a great Aran pullover for a man are also included. In short, this book contains something for everyone and at different skill levels as well.

Just not what I wanted, but nice book. I was also hoping the Pie Wedge Shawl
