Su questo libro

Recensione:

“This will surely become the breviary of knitters and needlepointers, a carry-along-everywhere book of inspiration and courage written in prose that is richly embroidered, colorful, weighty, and textured—like a comforting shawl.”—Sylvia Boorstein, author of Pay Attention, For Goodness' Sake

“Susan Gordon Lydon’s big heart, clear words, and naked honesty weave the overwhelming pain of life, love, friendship, and death with the comfort of ordinary moments, the texture of yarn, a walk in the woods, having lunch with a child.  She shows us how knitting helps us stay steady through it all.”
—Cyndi Lee, author of Yoga Body, Buddha Mind and OM Yoga in a Box

“Susan Lydon's writing makes me laugh and cry, often at the same time. She is a master of black (and biker) humor. When I finished this book, I started again on the first page.”
—Barbara Gates, author of Already Home: A Topography of Spirit and Place
“I love this book. Profound and practical, its heartbeat is on every page. Susan Gordon Lydon’s journey of spirit is filled with courage, sadness and joy, giving us an important reminder of how to find the sacred in everyday life.”
—Sue Bender, author of Plain and Simple: A Journey to the Amish
