    Something to do if you have time, money, and inclination...
  

*by N***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2008*

Entertainment extraordinaire, with life lessons explained!  How does knitting fit in today's busy busy world and do you think you might enjoy this very old pastime?  Find out as you read Things I Learned from Knitting... whether I wanted to or not.  This is a handy little book that will fit into a small bag.  It is very very funny.  I found myself laughing out loud more than once as I was reading it.  The author, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee lives in Canada; she speaks and writes the Queen's English, thus the reader must often think, more than a wee bit, to extract all the meaning.  That makes it all the more enjoyable.  The author uses 45 old adages which illustrate life lessons and she contrasts and compares cognitive psychology to the thought processes used in knitting.  That being said I think it will make a wonderful graduation present for my close friend, a young wife, mother, and knitter, who just spent the last ten years working toward her PhD in Biomedical Engineering with a speciality in Oncology.  With that accomplished she now has more time to knit and to get on with life's lessons learned!!!

    Love this author but the physical book size left something to be desired
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 11, 2019*

I've read several of Stephanie's books and love all of them. They are a great, easy read that always motivates me to finish my knitting projects. This book is great, like her others, however I was surprised by the book's physical size when I received it. It's comically small. I actually find it uncomfortable to hold in bed to read. Still a great book but I don't know what is up with the book size.

    Worth your time and money.
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2019*

Love her writing.  As a sometime knitter, I was completely sucked in.  Found laugh out loud moments and thought insights that Gave me food for thought.  Author is unpretentious, no ax to grind, articulate and it seems her only agenda is to share her thoughts and add some charming humor to the mix. You just about have to be a knitter to get some of the humor but you don’t have to be a good knitter...so people like me had no problem following the little stories in these writings.
