The Yarn Harlot Writes Again

I could have kissed the UPS-man today when he delivered this.  I simply adore all of Stephanie Pearl-McPhee’s books.  They make me laugh and cry and feel connected to all the other thousands of people who share the knitting obsession hobby.

I haven’t had a chance to start reading it yet (hopefully before bed tonight!) but just the inside-cover makes me smile:

Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (a.k.a. the Yarn Harlot) returns to pen another hilarious, insightful, and poignant collection of essays surrounding her favorite topics: knitting, knitters, and what happens when you get those two things anywhere near ordinary people.  Free Range Knitter shares stories of knitting horrors and triumphs and knitting successes and defeats, but, mostly, it shares stories about the human condition that ring true for everyone–especially if you happen to have a rather large amount of yarn in your house.

Really, how can you not love the Yarn Harlot?!  And my husband wonders why I did a little happy-dance around the living room when I opened the box from Amazon.com?  Pfft, seriously.  I’m off to read…
