Calling all knitters!! Lay down your fiddlesticks for a couple of hours and enjoy this quirky little volume!! Maybe you can prop up the book and continue knitting as you read.......This book came to light when I was sourcing ideas for our Knitting Group at the library. At first glance it resembles a bit of chick-lit, but inside the comic strip cover is a wealth of information and humour. Why do people (including men) become so obsessed? What is the psychology behind it? Did you know that 20,000 penguin jumpers were received after an appeal to knit for penguins covered by oil spill in Tasmania in 2001? There are stories about Wrap with Love, knitting guilds, Sydney wool shops, Trauma Teddies, etc. plus humorous little diary entries from the compulsive knitter/author.
