This book was great fun to read. The author discusses how learning to knit helped her to cope with her divorce and getting her life back together. There are also some easy knitting patterns with colour photos at the back of the book. These include a magic scarf, giant pom-pom scarf, two hats, a cat tunnel, devil baby blanket, felted bracelet bags, knitted purses a sexy shawl and a faux lacy scarf. I always like it better when a book about knitting in peoples lives also include a few good patterns.
