For the Love of Knitting by Kari Cornell

These books are gently used books about yarn related crafts - they are all great books and you get them for only half price! It's a great deal!

'For the Love of Knitting' is an anthology of personal essays and stories that celebrates the appeal and love of this age-old art. The heart-warming, and sometimes sad tales of Jamaica Kincaid, Elizabeth Zimmermann, Melanie Falick, Meg Swansen, Perri Klass, Pam Allen, Naomi Dagen-Bloom, Susan Gordon Lydon, Lela Nargi, Teva Durham, Clinton W. Trowbridge, and Denyse Specktor touch on all aspects of knitting, from shearing the sheep and knitting the first stitch to giving the finely knitted hat, sweater, or socks as a gift.Historical photographs, vintage pattern books and advertisements, postcards, posters, artwork, and full-colour contemporary photographs by Chris Hartlove and others accompany the text.
