Summary: Very Glad I Read This Book
Review: So many people go through the motions in life, well Ms. Murphy brings to life the motions in knitting. She looks at an age-old art form and gives a wonderful new meditative spin to it. I was impressed with the breadth of interviews that are woven throughout the book, from a missionary in Africa, to a social worker, to professional women, to people using knitting as physical therapy. You get to appreciate the stories shared of the history and community of knitting, with a focus on the psychological and emotional benefits this craft provides. I was even suprised to learn about the knitting revival among young women and some celebrities who have given it a higher profile, so knitting isn't just for your grandmother anymore.The day I had finished reading this book, a woman I work with noticed the book and asked to look at it. She just wanted to check it out, but she started reading the introduction and then moved into chapter one, I was getting worried she wasn't going to give it back. She finally handed it to me and said she was go to have to go out and buy her own copy. I am sure other people are going to have the same kind of impression.
