SECRET LANGUAGE OF KNITTERS

More than a dictionary of knitting terms, Temple’s book is filled with homey, often humorous insider tips for expert and novice knitters alike. Temple reads with a smile in her voice, taking time to explain arcane knitting jargon, offering thoughtful explorations of knitting terms, and providing a complete rundown of the pros and cons of a variety of yarn types. The tone of good grace in her voice suggests that, while knitting is addictive and may tax one’s budget, it’s not harmful to the health. Temple’s enthusiasm is engaging, sounding very much like a close friend hoping to encourage the listener to be as excited about her favorite pastime as she is. Multitaskers might even consider listening to this audiobook while knitting. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2011]
