Book Reviews of Zen And The Art Of Knitting: Exploring the Links Between Knitting, Spirituality, and Creativity
Book Review: Too much name dropping, not enough diversity!!
Summary: 2 Stars
There were things I did like about this book. I like the little knitting instructions at the beginning of each chapter. I also agree with the author on the spiritual, meditative benefits of knitting. What I didn't like was the the way she talked about who she knows, what celebrities are knitting. Worst of all, how many educated, professinal, people are now knitting!! Does she need their approval?
I am a proud blue collar, working class knitter!! I was disapointed that the author did not seem to interview any of us!! Yes, many of us have knitted for years. I am 50 and I learned to knit when I was 10, long before it was a hip, cool thing to do!!! I work at a local Super Walmart and many of us DO knit, crochet and needlework as a way to relieve stress. A church nearby has a knitting group that prays while they knit prayer shawls. All that said, I just wish she'd interviewed more working class people!
Lastly, What on earth is "Super Yarn Mart kind of thing?" No one tells me what yarn to buy or not buy!
