Helpful Score: 2


Let Knitting Carry You Away Pack Your Bags. (How much yarn?)
Map out your course. (Where's the closest yarn store?)
Learn the language.("Just one more row")
Find your traveling buddies.(Look for the telltale needle holes in the purse)
And cast off with Stephanie Pearl-McPhee on a trip from which you may never
return--if you're lucky!

The Knitting Yarn Harlot, with her dry humor and unrepentant, fanatical love for everything about this remarkable place, invites you to join her on an entertaining tour of the land of Knitting, its people, customs and culture.

I enjoyed the first two books I read by Ms. McPhee. They were both touching and funny. But she seems to reuse a lot of old material in this book. And I thought that the travel analogy that she used to tie the book together was very unnatural but not to my taste. I would have preferred more actual knitting information.
