I love reading books about knitters and knitting. I love the descriptions about different yarns and how they feel in your hands as you knit. I love reading the conversations that occur during knitting groups and the friendships that develop. So, when I saw Knitting, I could not resist reading it. But, now that I am finished, I have to say that this book was a bit strange. The characters were strange and I had a hard time relating to them. The plot was strange (they were knitting some very bizarre items) and I had a hard time relating to it. As a result, I'm not sure that I would recommend this book to anyone, even people who love to knit as much as I do and who love to read about knitting groups and friends who knit. I am not sure that even they would like this book.
This book was a bit of a disappointment to me. Maybe I need to keep a list of my top 5 reads of 2011 along with a list of the top 5 disappointments. Knitting would definitely be on the latter.
