I am a regular reader of the Yarn Harlot. She's just what you need when your yarn, needles, and life in general have you in knots. And she has a new book: All Wound Up: The Yarn Harlot Writes for a Spin.
Sadly, I've never met her. Iowa has yet to figure on any of her book tours. Le sigh. Maybe once in my life I'll get lucky and I'll make it to Rhinebeck and she'll be there. I might bring a washcloth with a Hawkeye on it. Or perhaps an ear of corn....
Back to the book. The topics Stephanie covers range from knitting in public, destashing when S.A.B.L.E (Stash Acquision Beyond Life Expectancy) looms, the paradoxical problem of swatching, growing daughters, and the ever-present love she holds for Sir Washie, her long-suffering washing machine. The essays are drawn from her blog and expanded from some of her daily posts. Her family has grown up over the course of her blog and previous essay collections (Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter and Free Range Knitter: The Yarn Harlot Writes Again) making this book a treat not just for knitters and crafters, but mothers, grandmothers, and anyone with a boisterous family and a century-old house.
