A Life in Stitches by Rachael Herron Pdf

A warm, funny and moving memoir about how a passion for knitting has marked the milestones of a woman's life, from surviving a typhoon to finding true love. From creating her very first sweater, an electric blue disaster that led to an unlikely bonding between father and daughter to the yellow afghan that caused a breakup (and, ultimately, a breakthrough) and discovering that her love of knitting pales next to actual, true love, Rachael Herron's ability to spin wonderful yarns full of love, loss and laughter is addictive. Whether she's huddled with her cat Digit after an close encounter in a treehouse or reminiscing about her mother's idyllic New Zealand childhood while keeping vigil at her bedside, Herron shows that when life unravels there's always a way to knit it back together again, often into something even better. 'Rachael Herron is a writer with an open heart. I feel it in her novels. In A LIFE IN StItCHES, I got a deeper look into that heart, and I love what I saw there. It's an honest, fascinating, warm-hug of a memoir.' Amy Singer, Knitty.com 'Even though I'm a lousy knitter with only a few crooked scarves to my name, I was captivated, delighted and touched by every chapter.' Erin Bried, author of How to Sew a Button 'Weaves together a life rich in family, romance, and enough electric blue yarn to knit her first sweater at age eleven ... I'm inspired to be as bold and as generous as the knitters in her life.' Catherine Friend, author of Sheepish:

Stitches by David Small Pdf

A Publishers Weekly Top Ten Best Book of the Year An Amazon.com Top Ten Best Book of 2009 A Washington Post Book World’s Ten Best Book of the Year A California Literary Review Best Book of 2009 An L.A. Times Top 25 Non-Fiction Book of 2009 An NPR Best Book of the Year, Best Memoir With this stunning graphic memoir, David Small takes readers on an unforgettable journey into the dark heart of his tumultuous childhood in 1950s Detroit, in a coming-of-age tale like no other. At the age of fourteen, David awoke from a supposedly harmless operation to discover his throat had been slashed and one of his vocal chords removed, leaving him a virtual mute. No one had told him that he had cancer and was expected to die. The resulting silence was in keeping with the atmosphere of secrecy and repressed frustration that pervaded the Small household and revealed itself in the slamming of cupboard doors, the thumping of a punching bag, the beating of a drum. Believing that they were doing their best, David’s parents did just the reverse. David’s mother held the family emotionally hostage with her furious withdrawals, even as she kept her emotions hidden — including from herself. His father, rarely present, was a radiologist, and although David grew up looking at X-rays and drawing on X-ray paper, it would be years before he discovered the shocking consequences of his father’s faith in science. A work of great bravery and humanity, Stitches is a gripping and ultimately redemptive story of a man’s struggle to understand the past and reclaim his voice.

Summary of Rachael Herron's A Life in Stitches by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was never a Daddy’s girl. I loved my father, but I didn’t understand him. He was an aspiring entrepreneur, and he always believed a million-dollar idea was just around the corner. He loved cruising neighborhoods in our VW van, looking for garage sale signs. #2 I was eager to learn how to knit a whole sweater, using the pattern as my tutor. I was close to finishing, but I couldn’t make the instructions make sense to me. I ended up just looping the yarn over the needle and hoping for the best. #3 I made a sweater that was three sizes too big for me, and it was ugly. I was so nervous to show it to my father, who had high hopes for me. I dropped a few stitches right at the bust line, and I thought it would be fine to sew them closed with white thread. #4 My father, who had started and scrapped at least four new businesses since the start of that year, thought I’d done something great. I realized that starting things and finishing them was what gave him the most satisfaction.

Stitches by Anne Lamott Pdf

What do we do when life lurches out of balance? How can we reconnect to one another and to what's sustaining, when evil and catastrophe seem inescapable? These questions lie at the heart of Stitches, Anne Lamott's follow-up to her New York Times-bestselling work, Help, Thanks, Wow. In this book, she explores how we find meaning and peace in these loud and frantic times; where we start again after personal and public devastation; how we recapture wholeness after loss; and how we locate our true identities in this frazzled age. We begin, Lamott says, by collecting the ripped sheets of our emotional and spiritual fabric and sewing them back together - one stitch at a time. It's in these stitches that the quilt of life begins, and embedded in them are strength, warmth, humour and humanity.

The Art of Slip-Stitch Knitting by Faina Goberstein,Simona Merchant-Dest Pdf

A Fresh Look at a Classic Technique Slip stitch is one of the simplest and most versatile knitting techniques, but it's often overlooked. The Art of Slip-Stitch Knitting is a modern and thorough take on this technique that delivers beautiful colorwork and gorgeous textures--with minimal effort. A complete overview covers all the basics of slip-stitch knitting, including stitch formation, reading charts, customizing stitch patterns, choosing yarns, designing with slip-stitch patterns, and more. Forty stitch patterns, many of which are reversible, stretch the boundaries of slip stitch, creating colorwork that is just as graphic as Fair Isle, but much simpler; woven-looking fabrics; and fabulous textures that are sometimes combined with lace and cables. Sixteen original projects for cardigans, pullovers, hats, bags, scarves, and more showcase the versatility of slip stitch by using it as an allover pattern or accent. Whether you're new to this exciting stitch or looking to go beyond the basics, The Art of Slip-Stitch Knitting is your essential guide.
