Knitting is rarely a very solitary practice. Even if you're knitting alone, the bulk of the time you're knitting something for somebody which, in turn, creates a certain degree of community. You're knitting a toy for someone, or a scarf, or something even more intimate - gloves, that they'll wear on their hands. It's a craft that inherently shows that you care each time that you practice it. It's therefore not terribly surprising that a collection of stories by knitters about knitting should show more elicit such a strong emotional response from a reader.

I laughed. I got teary eyed. I shared in the deep frustration that happens when you inevitably end up with far too many knots or a disastrous project that seems to go nowhere.

This book was absolutely delightful, and a truly delightful surprise as I just found it while browsing through the library. show less

I loved the variety and quality of each story. Some stories make you laugh, some make you cry, and others just make you think...The stories of knitting are stories of life...I read this as a library book, found it as an ebook and will probably read again and again.

Stories for the Knitter in you.

Almost chicken soup for the Knitters Soul. The stories are sad, funny, thought provoking and cool and sometimes at the same time.

KnitLit is a nice little collection of essays about knitting, from horror stories to spiritual development. Although few stories really stick out as memorable, each story is entertaining. This makes nice plane or waiting room reading.
