Lisa's review of Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter
Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
I was given this book by a co-worker.
It is full of funny little insider thoughts that anyone who knits will understand.
It is just like reading her blog. And if I wanted to read her blog, well then I would just read her blog. So from a literary standpoint, it wasn't exactly a satisfying read.
Yeah it had funny knitting stories, but I wouldn't buy another knitting meets literature book. This is junk food reading at its best.
I have another similar book from a different co-worker on my desk. I guess they think that these are the perfect gift for me since I am a book worm and I knit. Maybe if I was a little less well read, I would find these entertaining, but it certainly does not compare to Jane Austin or some of the other great books I have read.
