From New York Times bestselling knitting writer Clara Parkes, comes
a new collection of essays and stories drawn from the yarn-loving,
stash-collecting, close-knit community of knitters. This
addictive-to-read anthology celebrates yarn-specifically, the
knitter's reputation for acquiring it in large quantities and
storing it away in what's lovingly referred to as a "stash."
Consider contributions from knitting and teaching luminaries,
including: BUST co-founder Debbie Stoller Meg Swansen, daughter of
master knitter Elizabeth Zimmermann Knitting blogger and author
Susan B. Anderson alongside offerings from knitting greats Amy
Herzog, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, and Franklin Habit-plus, stories
from a romance novelist, an illustrator, a PhD-wielding feminist
publisher, a globetrotting textile artist, a licensed clinical
social worker, and the people behind the world's largest collective
online stash, Ravelry.com. The pieces range from comical to
earnest, lighthearted to deeply philosophical as each seeks to
answer the question of how the stash a knitter has accumulated over
the years reflects his or her place in universe. The stories in A
Stash of One's Own represent and provide validation for knitters'
wildly varying perspectives on yarn, from holding zero stash, to
stash-busting, to stockpiling masses of it-and even including it in
estate plans. These tales are for all fiber artists, spinners,
dyers, crafters, crocheters, sheep farmers, shop owners, beginning
knitters to yarn experts, and everyone who has ever loved a skein
too hard to let it go.
