There is no praise too extravagant for this book. Also, why is cashmere so expensive? I deserve it. This book is also heartbreaking, and heart-warming, and amazing. I think it's less about the value of knitting (which is extremely valuable, and not just because of the price of luxury yarns), than about the value of community, and friends, and support. And makes me feel bad about constantly skipping the knitting group meet-ups.
