In the Author's Words....
"Why knit? Some of the reasons I discovered as I interviewed knitters across the country weren't all that surprising, given the underlying nature of knitters; They had to do with highly personal, though often articulated, ideas regarding generosity, and spirituality, and consumerism, and feminism, and the interconnecedness of life and art. Some of the answers were greatly surprising, and those answers are tucked in among these pages, waiting to be given new life in the reading." pg 4

From the inside cover....."In Knitting Lessons, Nargi invites readers on a journey through the varied landscapes of knitting, and among the people who take obsessive pleasure in learning and mastering this ancient craft. Since the first of what would be a series of profound realizations gained from knitting (you mean there are only two stitches involved?), Nargi has not been able to put her needles down, and in this book she seeks to discover exactly what it is about the practice of knitting that draws people in and keeps them returning, day after day, to their yarn.

The people Nargi encountered as she followed a path through interconnected circles of knitters from all over the country describe how knitting - as profoundly simple as it is profoundly not simple - encourages a more peaceful and productive existence. Why knit? some may ask. In Knitting Lessons, aficionados will delight in hearing the inspiring, enlightening, and sometimes just plain funny answers from knitters all across the country."
