Every project, from a misshapen hat to the most magnificent sweater, holds a story. Yarn Harlot tells all those stories with humor, insight, and sympathy for the obsessed. Over 50 million people in America knit. The average knitter spends between $500 and $1,700 a year on yarn, patterns, needles, and books. No longer just a fad or a hobby, knitting has advanced to a lifestyle. Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter moves beyond instructions and patterns into the purest elements of knitting: obsession, frustration, reflection, and fun. Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's humorous and poignant essays find humor in knitting an enormous afghan that requires a whopping 30 balls of wool, having a husband with size 13 feet who loves to wear hand-knit socks, and earns her \"yarn harlot\" title with her love of any new yarn--she'll quickly drop an old project for the fresh saucy look of a new interesting yarn. Since the upsurge in knitting began in the early '90s, the number of women under 45 who knit has doubled. Knitting is no longer a hobby for just grandmothers--women and men of all ages are embracing this art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Outpost","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46565099274426,"sku":"9780740750373","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ufmllc.online\/products\/yarn-harlot-the-secret-life-of-a-knitter-1","provider":"Unique Finds Market LLC ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
