Two Sweaters for My Father
by Perri Klass
|
Beyond the garments, scarves, blankets, and sweaters, knitting offers the kind
of nonmaterial rewards discussed in these essays: the repetitive, rhythmic finger
movements soothe, reduce stress, and bind a knitter to her community. Knitting's
psychological dimension is celebrated in these personal accounts of one woman's
experience knitting in the hospital, at a college reunion, and while making
garments for her father and loved ones. These thoughtful reflections reveal
that the real power of knitting has more to do with what goes on in the head
and the heart than what happens with needles.
