The Knitting Goddess
Finding the Heart & Soul of Knitting
By Deborah Bergman
|
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.
