This new essay collection of Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's contains hilarious and poignant stories surrounding her favourite topics: knitting, knitters, and what happens when you get those two things anywhere near ordinary people. For the millions of knitters, 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.
