Knit Today

You’ve probably found at times that knitting is more than just a hobby – it can also be a therapeutic exercise to carry you through a difficult patch in your life, stitch by stitch. Knitting Through It is a collection of writings from knitters of all ages and backgrounds who have done just that. The book is categorised into themes, such as Charity, Illness, Work, Grief, War, Families in Motion, and Relationships. Lela has included inspirational pieces from contemporary writers, as well as items dating all the way back to four letters written to Abraham Lincoln that accompanied knitted gifts! Some of the writings also include patterns for the items mentioned, enabling you to connect even more with the various authors by knitting the very same things that helped them through their hard times. A good read for any knitter, Knitting through it shows just how life-changing knitting can be, and how lucky we are to have it.
