I love reading anything by this author. So right on target for knitting, life, motherhood and woman enpowerment. I hope she keeps on writing because I would hate to miss those pithy essays. Buy this book or borrow it, but get it.

I loved this book. Perri Klass is a well known Pediatrician, a knitter, and a writer. This book is made up of small essays or columns from different publications that she has written for. They are the perfect size for a "just before bed" read. She is thoughtful and very articulate. The stories and thoughts are personal but universal. You will find yourself nodding your head thinking, yes that is right, how did you know? She entertains you and gives you things to ponder. This book is definitely a keeper.

I love reading Perri Klass whether it's a novel, her articles in 'Knitter's Magazine' or whatever.

This book of essays, collected from her 'Knitter's Magazine' columns, intersperses vignettes from her life with the significanc of knitting, yarn and her love for the craft. We learn about her, her family, and her life as the words knit and purl, cable and wind to the lovely needle-like click-clack of the stories.

If you love to knit, this book is a must-read.

I thought thatit would be different. If you have Knitter's magazine then you have a lot of these stories. I like reading her part in the magazine but it is a shame that I paid for the book when I already have the magazines.
