In her trademark style, McPhee talks about knitting, parenting, friendship, and—gasp!—even crocheting in essays that are at times touching, often hilarious, and always entertaining. Fans of her popular blog at www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/ will adore this all-new collection of tales of the woolen and silky skein, which follow the Yarn Harlot's previous exploits chronicled inside Yarn Harlot and Free-Range Knitter.

Well.  What can I say about Stephanie Pearl- McPhee's latest book?  I want to tell you how I had to stop reading this book in public less I look like a loon.  Ms. McPhee's sense of humor and witty use of language had me laughing uncontrollably.  Giggles would erupt unexpectedly as I would suddenly remember a passage from the book.  Her relationship with her craft is genuine and her connection to the reader is so very...real.  This is an honest woman being honestly funny telling the truth the best way she knows how.  And she shines.  Buy it and love it but be prepared to read it alone.
