More tongue-in-cheek, laugh-out-loud observations on the world of knitting from the best-selling author and self-proclaimed "Yarn Harlot". Anyone who thinks knitting is for little old ladies hasn't met the Harlot. Pearl-McPhee journeys deep into the land of those who are obsessed with yarn, needles, and what's on their needles now.

Using a travel guide format, she acts as tour guide extraordinaire, describing and critiquing every aspect of this territory she knows so well: its people (young and old, male and female); familiar phrases ("purl this, darn that"); strange beliefs; currency (skein trading); etiquette; holidays (any sale day at the local yarn shop); and customs. She notes important dates in knitting history and celebrates unsung knitting heroes, from the samurai warriors of Japan to the "Terrible Knitters of Dent". And, while the land of knitting is a mostly peaceful place, it does have its controversies, such as the acrylic vs. natural fibers and circular vs. straight needles debates, which Pearl-McPhee visits with relish and glee.

I absolutely loved everything about this book! I'm just wondering when the royalties are going to come because I swear it comes right out of my head! As a die-hard capital K knitter I absolutely live every breath of this book every day of my life. I really enjoyed the stories, the history, the humor, and the instruction. I wish there were more books by Stephanie Pearl McPhee on Audible.

My knitting friends are all remote. I will definitely listen to this book again so I can visit one of my newest knitting friends and about those who are knit in with her.

Funny, precious, and profound

I love the yarn harlot but she seems bored while reading. Seems it would have been better to read than listen too.

Funny but

As a Knitter, I laughed a lot and out loud while listening to this book. This is her funniest book. Not sure non-knitters would enjoy the humor.

Hilarious (for a Knitter)
