In a fractured world, knitting is a lifeline. Economist and lifelong knitter Loretta Napoleoni reveals the hidden power of purl and stitch: a means for women to influence history, a soothing activity to calm our nervous systems, and a powerful metaphor of life.
This book is an essential read for anyone who knits – from beginners to longtime hobbyists to the occasional creator of a blanket to welcome a newborn. You’ll discover:
- How knitting shaped history, from Ancient Egypt to the knitting spies of World War II and the craftivism and yarnbombing from the 1960s that continues today.
- How knitting changes the brain, helping us relax and beat anxiety and overthinking.
- The latest technological advances that allow us to create new knitted forms to amaze and improve lives.
For the author, this book is also a personal journey of discovery and salvation, drawing on the wisdom her grandmother passed along as they knitted together.
Combining surprising history, cutting-edge neuroscience, and powerful storytelling, The Power of Knitting sheds light on a beloved pastime and its beautiful past, present, and future.
As a bonus, the book includes patterns for ten simple yet iconic projects that reflect the creative, empowering spirit of knitting, with complete instructions.
