Book Reviews of The Knitting Goddess: Finding the Heart and Soul of Knitting Through Instruction, Projects, and Stories
Book Review: A knitting book to curl up with
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is not just a knitting book--it is one to curl up with and read--the myth adaptations are so much fun. Personally, I love the purple ink, too--this is a fun, informative book. I think, as another reviewer mentioned, this was "the book that started it all"--the Knitting Goddess was one of the "forefront" books when the current knitting craze began.
Deborah, will we ever have another book from you--maybe a companion/sequel to The Knitting Goddess? Though it's been many years now since the Goddess was published, you have many fans and I wonder when we'll hear from you again. I enjoy this writer's work so much that I also bought her Inner Voyager personal journal/workbook--another gem. I hope Deborah is happily knitting, wherever she is--and I hope she graces the knitting world with another lovely book one day.
Summary of The Knitting Goddess: Finding the Heart and Soul of Knitting Through Instruction, Projects, and Stories
From Hollywood to fashion circles to knitting circles on college campuses across the country, knitting is the hippest new skill around and is practiced by millions of people. Combining the best of two great worlds, The Knitting Goddess consists of 10 chapters, each offering a fascinating story of an ancient goddess, which is then applied to a basic knitting technique or simple pattern. Learn, for instance, about Isis, the mother goddess of Egypt, and knit a red stole that grants power to its wearer. Other stories and projects include Athene and a scarf called a smoke ring, Penelope and a warm beautiful sweater, and more. Wonderful for beginners as well as the more advanced knitter, this one-of-a-kind approach to knitting will teach readers not only how to master the craft, but will also entertain, inspire, and inform.Puzzles & Games Books
