Produktbeschreibung
An engaging read and perfect gift for knitters: How our favorite craft empowers, heals, and reconnects us to each other and ourselves In a fractured world, knitting is a lifeline. Economist and lifelong knitter Loretta Napoleoni reveals the hidden power of purl and stitch: a means for women to influence history, a soothing activity to calm our nervous systems, and a powerful metaphor of life. This book is an essential read for anyone who knits – from beginners to longtime hobbyists to the occasional creator of a blanket to welcome a newborn. You’ll discover: * How knitting shaped history, from Ancient Egypt to the knitting spies of World War II and the craftivism and yarnbombing from the 1960s that continues today. * How knitting changes the brain, helping us relax and beat anxiety and overthinking. * The latest technological advances that allow us to create new knitted forms to amaze and improve lives. For the author, this book is also a personal journey of discovery and salvation, drawing on the wisdom her grandmother passed along as they knitted together. Combining surprising history, cutting-edge neuroscience, and powerful storytelling, The Power of Knitting sheds light on a beloved pastime and its beautiful past, present, and future. As a bonus, the book includes patterns for ten simple yet iconic projects that reflect the creative, empowering spirit of knitting, with complete instructions.
