A Knitter's Home Companion

A Knitter's Home Companion is a collection of 20 essays, plus 12 patterns and 7 recipes related to the essays, from Michelle Edwards, a monthly essayist for the Lion Brand Yarn Company e-newlsetter (circulation: 750,000). This heartwarming title will appeal to knitters interested not only in stitches, yarn, and patterns, but also in the lives of other knitters, the lessons that can be learned from knitting, the ways knitting helps knitters cope with difficult times, and the role of knitting in family life. Like a good friend, A Knitter's Home Companion will inspire readers to laugh, cry, remember, be thoughtful, cook, and pick up their needles, sometimes to soothe, sometimes to celebrate, and sometimes to just pass the time.

Michelle Edwards has been a monthly essayist for Lion Brand Yarn Company's e-newsletter since summer 2006. She is author/illustrator of 13 children's books, including Chicken Man (June Bug Books, 53,000 copies in print); Papa's Latkes (Candlewick, 25,000 copies in print) and most recently, Stinky Stern Forever (Harcourt, 10,300 copies in print).
