About This Item
Kansas City: Andrews-McMeel, 2008 1st ed. 228pp. hardback 12mo: Fine in a Fine dj in Brodart poly cover. More humorous essays ("a sort of David Sedaris take on knitting," said the Library Journal) by the author of Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter.
Synopsis
EveryoneââÊþâÌòs favorite knitter and blogger Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (a.k.a. the Yarn Harlot) is back again with more knitting enjoyment to reveal the purest elements of her woolly craftââÊþâÈêobsession, frustration, reflection, and fun in the paperback edition of Free-Range Knitter: The Yarn Harlot Writes Again. This paperback edition of Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's popular Free-Range Knitter: The Yarn Harlot Writes Again reminds us of the joy we felt upon first encountering her hilarious and poignant collection of essays surrounding her favorite topics: knitting, knitters, and what happens when you get those two things anywhere near ordinary people. For the 60 million knitters in America, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (a.k.a. the Yarn Harlot) shares stories of knitting horrors and triumphs, knitting successes and defeats, but, mostly, stories about the human condition that ring true for everyone--especially if you happen to have a rather large amount of yarn in your house. Funny, unique, and gleeful in her obsession, Pearl-McPhee speaks to knitters of all skill levels in this delightful celebration of craft and creativity.

About Auldfarran Books, IOBA
"I have spent many delightful hours poring over the . . . lists of second-hand booksellers. . . . All these are redolent of romance. They are much more entertaining than half the novels that are written." -W. Somerset Maugham.
