In an era of global warming, war, escalating expenses, declining income, and drugs and violence in schools, many mothers feel they have little control over their families or their worlds. Nora Murphy eloquently demonstrates that many women do control one tiny thing: their next stitch. While tracing the frustrations and joys of knitting a sweater for her son through the course of one cold, dark Minnesota winter, Murphy eloquently brings to life the traditions and cultures of women from many backgrounds, including Hmong, American Indian, Mexican, African, and Irish. Murphy's personal stories -- about her struggles to understand esoteric knitting patterns, her help from the shaman of the knit shop, and her challenges sticking with an often vexing project -- will appeal to knitters as well as everyone else who has labored to create something from scratch.

Nora speaks about the history of the craft with respect and admiration. She shares her own journey through the creation of a sweater for her son. Self imposed deadlines are missed but the joy of the competion is truly felt.
I have also missed deadlines, made mistakes and had to re-knit many times. I could go to Walmart and get twenty pairs of socks for the price of a couple of balls of wool but watching my grandsons choose socks that I made for them makes it all worthwhile.
Thanks,Nora for the words. ( )
