Free-Range Knitter: The Yarn Harlot Writes Again
Cast on, Cast off
The scope of the musings in Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's latest offering, Free-Range Knitter: The Yarn Harlot Writes Again (Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC, $16.99) is vast and varied, and extends far beyond knitting, needles, and a talent with textiles. Pearl-McPhee's proficiency in purling, aptitude in knitting, and appreciation of knitters notwithstanding, the appeal of the essays within (and her phenomenally popular blog) rests in her ability to provide a witty and entertaining look into her own experiences, to the delight of all.
Hear a podcast of Stephanie:
Sometimes contemplative, sometimes ironic, and frequently self-effacing (think a wooly E.B. White), Pearl-McPhee wields a pen just as sharp as a knitting needle. In Free-Range Knitter, she offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of a mother, wife, writer, and yes, knitter, but the knitting itself is secondary to the humorous look at things such as the joyful—and daunting—dynamics of parenting, the importance of communication between people (of all ages), and the undeniable value of friendship, among others. In its pages, she provides an engaging and amusing medley of life lessons as well.
As stated in the introduction, "This book, though it appears to be about knitting, is actually about knitters," and the remarkably strong community they share. Passionate and even philosophical about that community, Free-Range Knitter is a free-wielding, amusing, and insightful collection that will knock your socks off (hand-woven or not).
