Man learned long ago that two sticks, rubbed together, can create a spark. It took a little longer to realise that if you attach a string, you can create a whole lot more.
From practical advice to philosophical insights, The Little Book of Knitting Wisdoms is a collection of knitting truisms that will amuse, comfort and inspire - and have you reaching for those needles!
A non-knitter is not ignorant. She is simply uneducated as yet . . .
Eliza Carpenter is a fictional character who appears in the novels of Rachael Herron. Eliza began self-publishing her innovative knitting patterns in the 1950s, and soon gained a worldwide following for her clever design ideas and her astute tips and tricks. Though Eliza sadly died just before the novels begin, her legacy and her wise words live on . . .
Rachael Herron is the author of seven novels: Eliza's Gift, Lucy's Kiss, Naomi's Wish, Cora's Heart, Fiona's Flame,Pack Up the Moon and most recently The Darling Songbirds about three country-singing sisters.
She received her MFA in writing from Mills College, and when she’s not busy writing, she’s working her other full-time job as a 911 fire/medical dispatcher for a Bay Area fire department.
As of 2013, she’s a proud New Zealand citizen as well as an American, and she is a proud member of the NaNoWriMo Writers Board. She can probably play along with you on the ukulele.
