The 1991 Pine Needles (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The 1991 Pine Needles One hazard that will inevitably face all those who wish to achieve their chosen role in life is the ancient ritual of going to the market. The market is the place where the average person encounters a level of noise, glitz, and corruption that they neither expect nor deserve. However, if you enter with the right amount of determination and take the proper cautious procedures, it is possible to emerge with everything you need and to remain relatively unscathed and unaffected by the experience. The first step to surviving the market is knowing when you have entered one. This is not as easy as it sounds. A market is anywhere that you go to get what you need. It is also where scores of other people are going for the same purpose. The needs of all of these people are related, but every one needs something that is unique and different from both you and each other. Often many of those whose needs are very similar will group together, and you can almost tell just by looking at them what they are after. However, there is a lot of intermingling and you can often be fooled. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

For the Love of Knitting


Book Description

One surviving cotton sock tells us that the Egyptians were knitting as long ago as the first millennium AD. Tenderly preserved shawls and sweaters bespeak our great-grandmothers handiwork. And colorful strands of yarn escaping from a basket in the corner show that the tradition lives on with us. That tradition, celebrated in the stories and essays in this book, knits together a world of warmth and memory, wisdom and camaraderie. These writings--sometimes amusing, sometimes moving, always entertaining--comprise a charming scrapbook reflecting the myriad cultural and historical aspects of knitting. Ranging from the days of World War II to our own time, they include offerings by Jamaica Kincaid, Melanie Falick, Elizabeth Zimmermann, Meg Swansen, Susan Gordon Lydon, Pam Allen, Lela Nargi, Perri Klass, Teva Durham, and many others. Artwork by Solveig Hisdal, fiber artists Debbie New and Karen Searle, and photographer Chris Hartlove, along with historical photographs, vintage advertising, and pattern booklets, brings the color and textures of these stories to vibrant life. Whether you ply knitting needles yourself or simply appreciate the art, this collection will enfold you in all the softness, warmth, and beauty of knitting today and yesterday.
