This book explores what virtually everyone's grandmother always knew-that when passionate knitters become one with the craft, amazing things start to happen.  &lt;P&gt;In Zen and the Art of Knitting, Bernadette Murphy explores how knitting fits into the large scheme of life itself as . . .  &lt;P&gt;-Meditation  &lt;P&gt;-Creative expression  &lt;P&gt;-A way to cure writer's block  &lt;P&gt;-A gift to express love  &lt;P&gt;-A way for children to develop fine motor skills  &lt;P&gt;-A way to connect generations, past and present   &lt;P&gt;Throughout this magnificent work, readers find practical advice, including a knitted stitch per chapter and a basic pattern in the appendix. For serious knitters, casual hobbyists, creative thinkers, and those seeking to discover an unexplored spiritual channel, Zen and the Art of Knitting is a unique work that will be treasured for years to come.</default_description>

The stories of women who use this &quot;craft&quot; as a means to overcome depression or illness were inspiring.
