The Yarn Harlot

Stepahnie Pearl-McPhee is a HOOT. I actually just brought home my own copy of Knitting Rules, but I fell in love with it a while back. She's hilarious and the book contains some useful, common sense info. I love it.

If you're wearing clothes and you dressed yourself, you're smart enough to knit. If you're wearing matching clothes or a coordinating accessory, you're smart enough to knit well.

Yeah, she's pretty funny. I love to read her blog. And I can't wait for her to tour again, I missed her the last time around (I'm so MAD about that!)

She's wonderful! And I love that quote, too!

When I was reading Secret Life of a Knitter, there were times when I laughed so hard I cried. (Get it--the letter her abandoned sweater writes her is worth the price of the book!)

Yes, I LOVED that book and the letter written by the sweater is hilarious. Also all of her 'dear pattern designer' letters.

I have all of her books and they make me laugh right out loud. I love the one about how crocheting is so much faster and crocheters do not get a change to "come to their senses" when making a Santa Claus toilet seat cover. While we knit slower and we CAN come to our senses before we knit one. I BURST out laughing at that one.

Can't wait for her next book. I'll be getting it when its out.

I've glanced through her book, and it looked like a fun read. She came to my city a couple of months ago. The day before she came, I was looking up info to be sure I went to the right library - only to find that she was there the day BEFORE.

Oh, that's terrible!!

Definitely get her books--you'll have such a wonderful time! They'll keep you busy until her next visit, hopefully!

Celine--the crochet thing is hilarious! Poor crocheters...working so fast that they don't recognize the fug...

I think she is hilarious, I live an hour away from her and I keep telling her Iam going to hunt her down to help with my projects and to see her yarn palace.

I love the meditations book, esp the quote about miniature sheep and being able to convince her husband that its just a dog...lol..

I bought knitting rules and it is great, I love the rule of thumb information, and the thoughts are priceless. Must have for any knit addict.

Gotta relate

Oh, Laura, you should definitely show up at her door!

I'm reading Knitting Rules right now, and it is fantastic! Very helpful--I've learned quite a lot.

I do read her books too quickly though. She needs to write faster! There's always her blog, of course, but it's just not the same.
