Summary
Sometimes it is a cherished knitted item that starts a story, sometimes the quest for another skein of the perfect yarn, sometimes the way knitting is worked into a memorythere is a reason that a yarn might be a tale or a thread, drawing us along as these knitters do with their stories of the knitters art. Raveling or unraveling, knitters such as Lily Chin, Betty Christiansen, Teva Durham, Clara Parkes, Caroline Herzog, and Lela Nargi take us into their confidence, sharing with us the whimsy, the insights, and simple pleasure that the age-old craft of knitting has brought into their livesand now ours.
