KnitLit the Third: We Spin More Yarns
There is, quite literally and figuratively, no end to yarns about yarns. In this third compendium of fiction, faction, and poetry about knitting, returning editors (and, yes, they're knitters) Roghaar and Wolf continue to showcase wisdom and wit in 71 snippets (that is, from one to three or four pages) from contributors who are well dispersed geographically. Hilarious admissions, some straightforward, abound, such as "I never finish anything I start." Or being confronted by a legion of MSITs (Martha Stewarts In Training). The other side--occasional sadness and deep insight--surfaces as well, such as the inexplicable and sudden tragedy of an eight-year-old's death and the solace of handwork. And everyday tales are included, from a kitten that's swallowed an odd lot of yarn to the onset of the "boyfriend sweater curse."Barbara JacobsCopyright © American Library Association.
