I'm almost surprised it took me this long to get through the book, but that's what happens when you read three books at once. I've been knitting for over two years or so, and while I certainly can't identify with everything Pearl-McPhee covers in this book, I found a good portion of the book to be humorous and even familiar. There's honestly not much more I can say about this book. A lot of it was touching, the language seemed spot on for this kind of book. It wasn't the best thing ever, and if you aren't a knitter or anything close to a regular crafter, you probably won't get it. But I'll probably recommend it to my knitter friends.
