Book Review of Crazy Aunt Purl's Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair: The True-Life Misadventures of a 30-Something Who Learned to Knit After He Split

Helpful Score: 4


Funny, but not as funny as her blog. Her "voice" is evident in the writing, but it just seems that maybe it was edited by someone who didn't really "get" Laurie's quirkiness. There are some items that I remember reading on the blog, but there are some new, entirely entertaining tales of craziness in the book. Most of Laurie's knitting patterns are on the website already, but there are patterns from Annie Modesitt and Drew Emborsky, too. There is an uber-cute "devil" baby blanket pattern.
