fjordic reviewed Free-range knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
Review of 'Free-range knitter' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I enjoyed it!
Random thoughts:
Are there really people who walk and knit? If so, my weirdness with knitting has not quite hit that point (yet).
I didn't know there were special bags for carrying around your yarn so it doesn't roll around on the bus. I promptly went out and bought this: Sock Knitting Project Bag Hexipuff Small Crochet Wip Bag - Crazy Calaveras so that I can carry around my socks in progress (SiP?).
The story of the ball of the yarn in the elevator seriously cracked me up.
The story of the little girl learning to knit was awesome.
I no longer feel quite as guilty at the thought of having multiple needles of the same size so I can have more socks going at once. There is nothing wrong with my addiction and it's very nice to have it confirmed.
It was a light-hearted, funny book …

It was a light-hearted, funny book that poked fun at all of the things we do as knitters - or things that we think about doing but don't actually do.
I also really liked Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off: The Yarn Harlot's Guide to the Land of Knitting - I listened to that one on audio book. After all, what's better than reading fun knitting annocdotes than knitting and* listening to an audio book about knitting? :)
