A Life in Stitches: Knitting My Way Through Love, Loss, and Laughter - Tenth Anniversary Edition

Well written and interesting account of an enthusiastic knitter's life. Rachel Herron wants to knit and write from an early age and this book charts her development beginning with an unusual childhood.It is a very readable memoir, I loved her passion for knitting, and applaud her determination to spend her life following her passions.Rachel now writes novels that have a knitting theme and also works as a 911 telephone responder.SHe also has a website[...]I wanted to read this because my passion for knitting has been rekindled recently and am curious about how others view this brilliant craft. There is still some stigma about knitting being a "granny " thing but many younger women including this author have fallen in love with yarn. I am a granny but that doesn't mean my outlook is old-fashioned and I really enjoyed this memoir.

I was a little disappointed with the quality of writing in this book, and the actual content did not really make me warm to the writer in the same way as The Yarn Harlot books. There was very little humour and nothing really moving in it, so overall a hit of a dull read.

I totally enjoyed every minute of this book. It is sure to be appreciated by other knitters out there. Five stars for this one

An interesting, entertaining and touching account of a knitters life. I found the book inspiring and enjoyed it very much.
