From Booklist
It is not enough that numbers of celebrities and hordes of the not-so-famous are patronizing knitting stores and weaving workshops. The act itself, as evidenced in myths and fantastical stories of old, promises some major spiritual benefits, too. Like a crafty artisan, Bergman intersperses tales of Penelope--who knitted (and unknitted) while waiting nearly two decades for Odysseus' return--with eight free-form projects. Instructions for, say, the ribbed scarf are direct, allowing for variations in materials, size, and pattern. Also, each chapter includes a new knitter's workshop, exploring a stitch to be learned, technique to master (e.g., knitting in the round), and idea to investigate. This unusual book, part how-to and part inspirational, encourages the kind of community or solo thinking that imbues our lives with new directions--through a simple knit one, purl two. Barbara Jacobs
