Two Sweaters for My Father

Written by Perri Klass. (From the book jacket) Good knitting writing evokes the dazed excitement of planning a project and choosing yarn, the frustrations of struggling when something doesn't turn out right, the thrill of creation and completion-and also the emotional patterns and tangles that bind us in families. Be warned, then: this book contains no projects. It's just writing about knitting-about how it matters and why it matters, how it fits into life, fits into the time's in which we live, connects the knitter with family and friends.
