Knitters Read Book Club

Knitters absorbed in their craft enjoy learning new techniques and sharing their skill with others.  Their curiousity does not end there, however.  The knitting lifestyle encompasses more than needles and yarn.  Many books are published incorporating knitting in many ways.  This book club is a series of monthly meetings on the last Tuesday to discuss and learn about different aspects of knitting along with others engaged in the craft.  The themes of the books to be selected for reading are:  Knitting Theory, Knitting Humor, Knitting Lifestyle, Knitting Fiction, and Knitting for Health and Wellbeing.  

 

Everyone is welcome to attend.  Even if you don’t knit but are just curious about a craft that is increasingly in the media and seen in the culture.  

 

Some of the authors we will be discussing include Elizabeth Zimmerman, acknowledged to have “revolutionized the modern practice of knitting”, along with Anna Zilbourg, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, Ann Hood, Clara Parkes, Betsan Corkhill, and Kate Jacobs among others.
