A Stash of One's Own: Knitters on Loving, Living With, and Letting Go of Yarn by Clara Parkes
reflective
medium-paced
3.75
3.75 and rounding up and listen to as an audiobook
This was a nice anthology to listen to in the evening or when doing other things. Some essays are standout, while I didn't connect with others. Totally normal for anthologies. I wish there were more perspectives from people who identify as part of historically marginalized racial and ethnic groups. While I'm not a knitter, certain perspectives felt they were missing. Take this New York Times article on black women knitting: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/05/style/knitting-hobby-black-women.html
