Synopsis

Passionate knitters know that knitting is more than just a craft or a hobby. Knitting forms the texture and a background for their lives, binding them to their mothers and grandmothers who shared their great legacies; to friends and family who wear their homemade gifts; and to their fellow knitters. The Knitter's Gift is an inspirational collection just for them.
Beginner and longtime knitters will rejoice as they read about:

• A father who treasures the scarf made by his daughter decades earlier
• A Ph.D. candidate who finds that knitting reduces her stress, and allows her to knit together her higher education with her craft
• A mother-in-law who makes peace with her daughter-in-law by creating a luxurious handmade gift

Written and compiled by this best-selling author, The Knitter's Gift is a timeless work that spans the generations.

Pull up a chair, drape an afghan over your legs, and enter the world of The Knitter's Gift. It is a realm in which a pair of needles and a single strand of yarn ties the generations together, a place where the wounds of the human condition are salved, a source of warmth on days when our souls shiver, and a moment to remind ourselves of the importance of the small things in life. -from the author's Introduction
