Reviews
"A sweet, unassuming memoir that's quietly inspiring." -- Booklist "A richly textured exploration of the knitting craft -- as a source of warmth, a sign of love shared, and a tangible link to the fiber artists who precede us." -- Bernadette Murphy, author of Zen and the Art of Knitting "Knitting a sweater is challenging, frustrating, exhilarating, and immensely satisfying, and Nora Murphy captures all of that and much more in her gem of a book. The journey of this one sweater makes stops in many knitting cultures as well as the geography of the human condition. A lovely book!" -- Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle "For every knitter who was ever asked, ‘Why bother knitting when you can buy it at Wal-Mart?' Murphy gives an answer. We have a deep spiritual connection to our craft and its past. Yes, I could buy a sweater at Wal-Mart. But I couldn't buy this sweater. Murphy compels us to consider the importance of one garment: to the knitter, to the recipient, and possibly to our entire global economy." -- Elizabeth Morrison, knitting designer, "A sweet, unassuming memoir that's quietly inspiring." -- Booklist "A richly textured exploration of the knitting craft -- as a source of warmth, a sign of love shared, and a tangible link to the fiber artists who precede us." -- Bernadette Murphy, author of Zen and the Art of Knitting "Knitting a sweater is challenging, frustrating, exhilarating, and immensely satisfying, and Nora Murphy captures all of that and much more in her gem of a book.
