You may also know that knitting as a hobby can verge on obsession&#8212;be it the compulsive purchasing of stunning hand-spun wool, the desire to rip out nearly finished sweaters because you dropped a stitch, or the need to knit wherever, whenever, or however you can. Most important, though, knitting offers a camaraderie, a society of women and men who converse in a language all their own, flock to yarn stores with religious devotion, and can recite the time and place where they first learned to purl. These feelings are what KnitLit is all about. In this charming collection of stories, essays, anecdotes, and recollections, knitters of every &#8220;color&#8221; celebrate their hobby and share with you the joy it brings into their lives.<br><br>From the touching tale of a caring woman whose hand-knit dolls bring security to young hospital patients, to the hilarious story of a woman scorned who sends her ex-boyfriend a scarf knit with wolf hair only to have it torn to shreds by his dogs, to the moving recollection of a man whose grandmother&#8217;s dying wish was to knit all the wool in her knitting stash, to the finely wrought account of a man who keeps alive the memories of his companions and friends who have succumbed to AIDS by wearing the sweaters they left behind, KnitLit is a gift from knitters to knitters&#8212;crafted with as much love and care as an afghan or a wool scarf. Wrap yourself in KnitLit, and be inspired. 153756 24 9 2002 KnitLit: Sweaters and Their Stories...and Other Writing About Knitting total:82|5:12|4:17|3:38|2:12|1:3| 82 269 125 9 3 0 false false Fri Mar 27 19:27:09 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 19:29:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Fri Sep 07 13:39:21 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 07 13:39:26 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Mon Apr 06 12:29:05 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 12:30:42 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Sep 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 08:00:57 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 08:01:45 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 05 07:51:06 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 07:51:52 -0800 2009 1 3 0 false false Wed Jan 14 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 09:01:26 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 07:15:23 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jul 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 07:45:23 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 08:31:00 -0700 2009 1 2 0 false false Fri Apr 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 12 08:32:34 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 12 08:35:30 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Tue Sep 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 06:15:39 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 09:12:07 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 18:50:02 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 18:50:04 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Nov 12 03:09:31 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 03:09:31 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Oct 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 12:10:21 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 12:10:34 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Oct 09 08:42:02 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 08:42:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 01 17:17:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 17:17:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 19 09:31:04 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 09:31:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 20 19:44:46 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 19:44:59 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Jul 26 09:09:32 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 09:09:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 15 13:31:08 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 21:43:36 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jul 08 15:17:38 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 15:17:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 07 17:01:41 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 17:01:41 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=159299
