This memoir strue just the right balance between entertaining and toughy-provoking for me. I loved how the author interweaves her sweater-from-scratch journey with the exploration of bigger life issues. It never seemed forced. Highly recommend the audiobook version, narrated by the author.

A knitter delves into where here yarn comes from and how it gets made. There are forays into the history of knitting, politics, and life during Covid-19 that enhance the narrative.
