A STASH OF ONE'S OWN Knitters on Loving, Living With, and Letting Go of Yarn

Kevin T. Collins, Kate Udall, and Eliza Foss take turns narrating this collection of entertaining, sometimes poignant, essays that examine knitters' need (or not) to maintain a yarn stash. In this audiobook, 21 knitting superstars, including designers, teachers, and bloggers, talk about their relationship with the yarns they've collected. All three narrators excel at personalizing the stories, highlighting the deep emotional connection knitters have with their "pretty string." Each skein tells a story--I bought that in Paris; I dyed that myself--and represents almost unlimited creative potential. Some knitters have gone minimalist; others must buy everything. The narrators find the heart of each essay, allowing listeners to laugh with the borderline hoarders and tear up when knitters sort through yarn inherited from their mothers.
