Résumé
An engaging read and perfect gift for knitters: How our favorite craft empowers, heals, and reconnects us to each other and ourselvesIn a fractured world, knitting is a lifeline. Economist and lifelong knitter Loretta Napoleoni reveals the hidden power of purl and stitch: a means for women to influence history, a soothing activity to calm our nervous systems, and a powerful metaphor of life. This book is an essential read for anyone who knits - from beginners to longtime hobbyists to the occasional creator of a blanket to welcome a newborn.
You'll discover: How knitting shaped history, from Ancient Egypt to the knitting spies of World War II and the craftivism and yarnbombing from the 1960s that continues today. How knitting changes the brain, helping us relax and beat anxiety and overthinking. The latest technological advances that allow us to create new knitted forms to amaze and improve lives. For the author, this book is also a personal journey of discovery and salvation, drawing on the wisdom her grandmother passed along as they knitted together.
Combining surprising history, cutting-edge neuroscience, and powerful storytelling, The Power of Knitting sheds light on a beloved pastime and its beautiful past, present, and future. As a bonus, the book includes patterns for ten simple yet iconic projects that reflect the creative, empowering spirit of knitting, with complete instructions.
