All Wound Up by Stephanie Pearl-Mcphee 746.432


If you knit (or do any kind of handwork) and want to lose yourself for a few hours in a very entertaining book, this is the one for you! Part of the book is about her knitting obsession (the night she went to a restaurant for dinner with her family and realized that her knitting wasn't in her purse - could she say she was going to the restroom and literally run home and back before they noticed?). Part of it is about people and things in her life (like her old washing machine that she wanted to keep forever). Part of it is about projects (both completed and not) that she loved or hated. All of the parts were highly entertaining with lots of laugh out loud moments. McPhee also made me feel less guilty about my stash of needlework threads and projects!!! That alone made it worth reading!
