Everyone knows someone who knits-a mother, a grandmother, a great-aunt or two-but lately a remarkable trend has surfaced across the country. Today it's not uncommon to see women (and some men, too!) in their twenties, thirties, forties, and fifties knitting sweaters in the park, talking technique in cafés, and flocking to yarn shops for meetings of their weekly knitting circles. What is it about the practice of knitting that draws people in and keeps them returning-day after day-to their yarn?
In this book, a somewhat vague obsession with knitting a pair of socks launches Lela Nargi on a spiritual journey through interconnected circles of knitters from all across the nation. As profoundly simple as it is profoundly . . . not simple, the knitters featured in Knitting Lessons describe how knitting encourages a more peaceful and productive existence.
The knitting-obsessed will delight in the inspiring, enlightening, and sometimes just plain funny reasons why people knit-all delightfully presented in this beautifully designed and illustrated book.
