Summary:
In
Knitting
Pearls
, two dozen
writers
write
about
the transformative and healing powers of
knitting
. Lily King remembers the year her family lived in Italy, and a knitted hat that helped her daughter adjust to her new home. Laura Lippman explores how converting to Judaism changed not only Christmas but also her mothers gift of a knitted stocking. Jodi Picoult remembers her grandmother and how through
knitting
she felt that everlasting love. And Bill Roorbach remembers his freshman year in college when
knitting
soothed his broken heart and helped him fall in love again. Other contributors include Steve Almond, Ann Leary, Christina Baker Kline, Lee Woodruff, and
knitting
rock stars Jared Flood of Brooklyn Tweed and the Yarn Whisperer, Clara Parks. With
knitting
patterns from renowned stores such as Purl Soho, Hill Country Weavers, and Churchmouse Yarns,
Knitting
Pearls
is by turns delightful and heartbreaking, joyous and wise. These personal stories by award-winning
writers
celebrate the moments of loss and love intertwined in the rhythm, ritual, and pleasure of
knitting
