A Knitter’s Home Companion is an illustrated collection of
stories, patterns, and recipes from beloved knitter and essayist
Michelle Edwards. This heartwarming title will appeal to knitters
interested in not only stitches, yarn, and patterns, but also in the
lives of other knitters, the lessons that can be learned from their
craft, the ways knitting helps knitters cope during difficult times, and
the role of knitting in family life.
Like a good friend, A Knitter’s Home Companion
will inspire readers to laugh, cry, remember, be thoughtful, cook, and,
of course, pick up their needles—sometimes to soothe, sometimes to
celebrate, and sometimes to just pass the time.
Divided into four
chapters—Motherhood, Home, Community, and Legacy—stories range from “But
She Doesn’t Have Any Underpants,” about the challenges of knitting for
family to “Home Ec Workshop and the Mystery of the Indian Slipper,”
about finding community at a local yarn shop. Projects range from
mittens and socks to a baby blanket and afghan.
