Summary:
Knitter and author Clara Parkes ponders the roles
knitting
plays in her
life
in 22 captivating, poignant, and laugh-out-loud essays. Recounting tales of childhood and adulthood, family, friends, adventure, privacy, disappointment, love, and celebration, she hits upon the universal truths that drive knitters to create and explores the ways in which
knitting
can be looked at as a metaphor for so many other things. Put simply, "No matter how perfect any one sweater may be, it's only human to crave another. And another, and another."
