Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off: The Yarn Harlot’s Guide to the Land of Knitting Audiobook (Free)

More tongue-in-cheek, laugh-out-loud observations for the world of knitting from the best-selling author and self-proclaimed ‘Yarn Harlot.’ Anyone who thinks knitting is perfect for small old females hasn’t fulfilled the Harlot. In her latest book-successor to her earlier bestsellers At Knit’s End, Knitting Rules!, and Yarn Harlot: THE TRICK Life of the Knitter-Stephanie Pearl-McPhee journeys deep into the land of these who are obsessed with yarn, needles, and what’s on the needles now.

Utilizing a travel help format, she represents and critiques every part of this territory she understands so well: its people (young and old, male and female), familiar phrases (‘purl this, darn that’), strange beliefs, currency (skein trading), etiquette, holidays (any sale trip to the local yarn shop), and customs. And, while the land of knitting is a mostly tranquil place, it can have got its controversies, such as the acrylic vs. natural fibers and round vs. straight needles debates, which Pearl-McPhee trips with relish and glee.
