Clara Parkes new book

Clara Parkes has been a friend to knitters, new and experienced, for quite a long time now. She always seems to know what our questions are about our love of knitting and yarn before we do. Her answers and yarn reviews have been relied on by so many, rightfully so.

Well, she has done it again. Her new book, The Knitter's Book of Wool: The Ultimate Guide to Understanding, Using, and Loving this Most Fabulous Fiber is going to be one of those hang onto, refer back to, and only loaned to our BFF for a few minutes type of book. I haven't even held it in my hands but I know why Clara is respected.

Also have to admit, several years ago she reviewed our yarn at my request and I so appreciated her honest opinion. She has undoubtedly swayed knitters to check us out. Now I can thank her by letting you know of her book ...hot off the presses.

Do go read her review, she modestly doesn't say much about the book itself in this review but the subtitle "The Ultimate Guide to Understanding, Using, and Loving this Most Fabulous Fiber" speaks volumes.
