My Book Report for Cactus Needles Knitting Guild!!!
Book Report~ Zen and the Art of Knitting, Exploring the Links Between
Knitting, Spirituality, and Creativity ..By Bernadette Murphy This book is a delight to read. From the first chapter, "Knitting myself back together" to the last chapter called "Of a piece", she combines folk lore with sensible tips for knitting. The book delivers the notion that knitting can be much more than crisscrossing and weaving string with two sticks. She presents a feeling of calm, similar to the one found in the act of knitting. She explores the practical and esoteric elements of knitting, side by side, in a spirited fashion. She includes, for the practical minded reader, an introduction discussing just what knitting is, ending each chapter with "Try this", ideas and reasons for knitting that you won't find in traditional knitting books. She includes How to get started, basic patterns, and a well put together index. The book explores the art of knitting beyond the dimensions of the usual knit one, purl one. I found this book to be well worth the $10.95, a small price for a glimpse at knitting from a fresh, inventive point of view! ~~Maggie Kiehl |
