Beyond Stitch And Bitch: Reflections On Knitting And Life
by Afi-Odelia Scruggs
What I love about this book is the patterns and the ease of them but complicated also.
Story follows a girl when she first starts to learn how to knit, puts it down then sparks her interest again and it mentions a shop in Providence, RI,
one I've not visited myself that gets her creative juices flowing again. Love hearing about the color sequences and how her hands tell her what it is she's making as she starts knitting.
Love the story of the woman from Africa coming and connecting with her.
Fun read. Comradery is awesome.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). (
