Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Yarn Harlot strikes again! Best-selling knitting author and humorist Stephanie Pearl-McPhee is back with an irresistible collection of witty observations on how knitting and life wisdom are spun together. In Things I Learned From Knitting (Whether I Wanted To or Not), Pearl Mc-Phee examines age-old aphorisms in light of knitting. From andquot;Hope Springs Eternalandquot; to andquot;A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeedandquot; and andquot;Birds Of A Feather Flock Together,andquot; Pearl-McPhee casts a fresh, off-beat light on these sayings. Presented in quick, punchy takes, each entry in this book calls out to be read aloud and shared with anyone who enjoys playing with yarn and needles. Pearl-McPhee's observations are hilarious; the situations she describes strike a familiar, andquot;not you, too?andquot; feeling in the heart of anyone who knits. Interspersed throughout the book are her notes on the things that andquot;Knitting is still trying to teach me. . .andquot; That no matter how well you knit, looking at your work too closely isn't helpful. It's like kissing with your eyes open. Nobody looks good that close up. Synopsis:andquot;Beginning is easy, continuing is hardandquot; takes on special meaning for a knitter faced with five projects already on needles, yet struck by the irresistible urge to start something brand new. Share Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's amazement at the resounding, and even astonishing, truths found in everyday clichandeacute;s and adages. Babies grow is a hard-learned lesson if you are a knitter who's stayed up nights making a tiny sweater for a special newborn, only to discover that a baby's ability to grow far exceeds your ability to knit. Knowing that you gotta roll with the punches can push an airborne knitter to the extreme of casting on with a couple of coffee stir sticks. After all, as every knitter knows for sure, idle hands are the devil's workshop. About the AuthorAt Knit's End, Knitting Rules!, and Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off.
