Book Description
In the spirit of How to Make an American Quilt and The Joy Luck Club, a novel about friendship and redemption.
After the sudden loss of her only child, Stella, Mary Baxter joins a knitting circle in Providence, Rhode Island, as a way to fill the empty hours and lonely days, not knowing that it will change her life. Alice, Scarlet, Lulu, Beth, Harriet, and Ellen welcome Mary into their circle despite her reluctance to open her heart to them. Each woman teaches Mary a new knitting technique, and, as they do, they reveal to her their own personal stories of loss, love, and hope. Eventually, through the hours they spend knitting and talking together, Mary is finally able to tell her own story of grief, and in so doing reclaims her love for her husband, faces the hard truths about her relationship with her mother, and finds the spark of life again. By an "engrossing storyteller," this new novel once again "works its magic" (Sue Monk Kidd).

Story of Loss and Recovery - but Enjoyable (Not Difficult/Painful).......2007-09-23
While it is probably unavoidable for a book about loss and recovery to be sad, I didn't find reading this book to be either difficult or painful. Instead, I found myself having to wrench myself from the book. I also felt thoughtful and a bit grateful as well.
The central character, Mary, has suffered a devastating loss and has been coerced into joining a knitting circle. Each member of the knitting circle has a story of their own that we learn about as Mary gets to know all of them. Along with loss or difficulty, knitting as a form of therapy, coping or salvation is the common bond between them. I don't knit, but there is something about the description of wool, its color and even what is being knitted that is so inviting and warm that it's as if it adds a texture to the book itself.
The author has done a beautiful job of capturing the nuances of emotions and feelings that make Mary seem very real. The stories of the knitting circle members and even Mary's co-workers are varied and interesting and make for what I found to be an engrossing book that I very much enjoyed.
Painful but beautiful.......2007-09-10
The knitting blogs have been listing books with a knitting theme, and I've read a few. Generally they're pleasant little reads, sometimes with a pattern or two printed in the back, and I expected something like that when I picked up The Knitting Circle. Clearly I had not done my homework: this book by Ann Hood is richly textured and beautiful, if emotionally wrenching to read.
Hood lost her own young daughter to a sudden infectious illness. In this book she writes a compelling story of Mary Baxter's grief and recovery after the death of her five-year-old daughter Stella from bacterial meningitis. Mary is immobilized by her loss, and learns to knit through the long-distance machinations of her mother. The rhythm and predictability of knitting gradually begin to give her a focus; one stitch after another, one row after another, until a fabric is created. Time passes and something is achieved.
Mary soon learns that each of the other knitters meeting weekly at Alice's "Sit and Knit" has a tragic story. From lost wartime lover to brutal assault to recurring cancer to loved ones lost on 9/11, each knitter's story unfolds in turn. Their stories are linked through the knitting circle and Mary's slow, slow progress through her grief. Mary's relationship with her husband and her mother suffer from her lack of engagement, as well as her relationships at work. Gradually, like the fabric of knits and purls, Mary begins to be whole again.
Through most of this book there was a feeling of not much actually happening, but an intensity of feeling being expressed as the back-stories unfold; a darker, more introspective Decameron. Beautiful to read, painful but beautiful. Gradually the separate strands become more closely intertwined and in the last part of the book, by comparison, the action becomes more pronounced. This transition is a good fit if the reader sees it as a parallel to the stages of Mary's grief; though it could be seen as many loose ends being tied up in a rush.
You may read books more smoothly constructed and edited, or with more thorough development of the secondary characters. You may read memoirs that make your heart break over the death of a child -- the classic Death Be Not Proud by John Gunther, for example, or April Fool's Day by Bryce Courtenay. But if you are looking for a book tagged as a novel that rings painfully true, that takes you from deepest grief to the tendrils of healing and renewal, then this is the book for you. Knitting is optional, but you WILL want a box of tissues.
Soap opera for knitters.......2007-09-10
I picked up this book on CD because I love to knit and I like to have a book to listen to in the car. I wish I had read some of the reviews before I started listening, though, because as each character's tragic past was revealed, I began to roll my eyes and think, "Oh, not ANOTHER sob story!" I certainly don't mean to be disrespectful of other peoples' grief (I've experienced some myself, over the years), and I can certainly see why this novel would have been very therapeutic for Ms. Hood to write---but it was absolutely not what I was expecting. I was disappointed that it had less to do with people who love to knit than people who are using knitting to assuage their grief, in some almost mystical fashion. Maybe if I had read the book on the printed page rather than listening to it, I would have had a different reaction to it. The reader did a great job with the different voices and accents required for the various characters, but there were times when Mary sounded like such a spoiled brat that I wanted to tell her, "Oh, grow UP!" and I don't think that was really what the author had in mind. Also, I think the reader could have done a better job of transitioning between paragraphs; I sometimes found it hard to follow a change of scene or a transition from one time period to another, if they weren't specifically set off with a chapter or section change. At any rate, I did finish listening to the book, so I guess that shows that I found the story engaging enough to want to hear how it ended. It just was too sloppily emotional for me to find the characters truly believeable.
Wonderful Book.......2007-09-06
I probably shouldn't have read this while pregnant with my second child, as I was often crying on my commute, but I couldn't stop reading once I started. A wonderful, heartbreaking book, and I'm thankful Ann Hood shared this with us.
Book Description
"Spinning, weaving, knitting, all part of the long tradition of women's work, skills that had survived even the efficiency of the industrial revolution. Why did people still do it?" It's been ten months since Jack died. For his widow, Sandra, a tightly wound teacher who thinks long and hard about such questions, the months have tested her belief that she can continue her ordered life without Jack. She feels as though she's covered in ice-cold glass and will never be warm again. Knitting is the story of what happens when Sandra meets a woman who is her polar opposite on a sidewalk when they both stop to help a man in distress. While Sandra's grief has constrained her spirit, Martha -- who lost her husband years before -- appears to wear her grief lightly. Sandra's talent for the domestic arts lies in studying them; Martha is a brilliantly gifted knitter, a self-educated artist. When Sandra persuades Martha to help her mount an exhibition of retro and contemporary knitting, the two women's lives tangle, with astonishing ramifications. What begins as a professional collaboration becomes something transformative and deeply personal. Anne Bartlett weaves a story that is seamless in its exploration of healing, grace, and the search for meaning, both within oneself and in the larger community. Readers will find much to admire in Sandra's struggle to break out of her shell and much to wonder at in Martha's visionary spirit. Knitting marks the debut of a writer whose work puts her in the company of writers such as Carol Shields, Barbara Kingsolver, and Louise Erdrich.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent book for a book club.......2007-01-10
This book was recommended to us by our assistant pastor who, by the by, is from England. I was hesitant to read it because I am not a knitter and am not in a grief mode. However, this author takes you up and carries you along. It is a quick read and one that touches your heart and mind. We will have much to discuss when our Christian Book Club meets in January. I recommend it highly.
Extremely Underwhelmed.......2006-02-21
I purchased this book without seeing any reviews. I love to knit and thought that I would enjoy a novel about knitting. I was wrong. The characters were never really developed or explained, everything seemed very shallow. I never felt like I knew or cared about any of the characters. I found it tiresome reading with nothing to hold me. I did not even finish the last 2 pages.
A well-knit novel.......2006-01-30
Anne Bartlett's first novel is not really about knitting; it's about coping with loss. But Bartlett is herself a knitter and knitting figures prominently in the plot and its resolution. Those who knit will appreciate the detail that accompanies descriptions of knitting projects and techniques. Those who do not knit can enjoy Bartlett's poignant story about two widows who have almost nothing in common facing their respective losses in a curiously similar way. The plot is a little odd at key moments, the characters are both a little quirky, but the book is well written and insightful.
A story with wonderful characters!.......2006-01-04
Anne Bartlett's Knitting is a superb novel for women who love to knit and enjoy a great story. The descriptions of the knitting process, its historical importance in the world and the sheer love of the craft makes it worth the read.
But it is also the beautiful, poignant story of love, healing and understanding that makes it complete.
Sandra Fildes is newly widowed and at loose ends. The loss of her beloved husband Jack to cancer has left a deep, dark hole in her life--and she seriously wonders how she can go on. She's self-centered, driven and uptight. She also loves words and textiles. She'd love to be able to knit, but doesn't believe she has the talent to be good at it.
Martha McKenzie has been widowed for many years and is a highly skilled knitter who struggles with her own demons, demons that she carries around in several suitcases wherever she goes.
Martha and her polar opposite, Sandra meet when they stop to help a man who has fallen ill. Sandra persuades Martha to help her with a retro and contemporary knitting exhibition, which is to be held in the local church hall. Each woman's personal needs collide with the others and threaten a growing friendship.
Armchair Interviews says: Bartlett weaves a story with rich characters and prose that is simply delicious. It is a marvelous first novel.
booooooring and strange!.......2005-08-20
This book is sure to put you to sleep after you knit. Not a very interesting book.

Mixed Bag.......2007-09-27
Loop d Loop is a mixture of awesome, inspiring designs & directions that can be confusing. I started one of the projects 4 times & could never get it to look right.
But I loved the design so much that I took what I learned from the false starts & changed the pattern to be even more what I wanted it to be. Now it's going just fine & I feel kind of proud of myself for showing some flexibility & creativity. A strange tribute to a book of patterns, but - there you have it.
It's in the details.......2007-09-06
A wonderful and inspiring volume for the thinking knitter. Lots of great design and the details on the garments are exciting. Worth having in your knitting library just to keep your ideas fresh and your knitting mind open.
Random and Unattractive.......2007-07-13
I bought this book looking for some interesting designs, but I found most of them to be either silly, ugly or both. They are different, but not wearably different. I just don't know how much demand there is for Robin Hood style neck warmers. Knitter friends have made similar comments after looking at the patterns.
Pleasantly surprised and impatient to start!.......2007-03-28
I'm a 33 year old knit-o-holic and I love youthful designs so this book piqued my interest when I saw so much buzz in blog-world (especially that darling ballet t-shirt!). However, when I went to the Loop-de-Loop website, I was more than a little turned off by the horrid modeling of the projects in the book. Several projects still captivated me enough to purchase the book through the Amazon Marketplace and hoped that the website photos were not the photos in the book.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this book! The models, while a few are very thin, are much more normal size than the website models, and the photographs are beautifully done. I also love the photo of Teva on the back flap. I think it's because she looks like me - I mean we're probably around the same age, look to be about the same body type, and we have the same attitude about knitting and designing.
Is it just me, or are the Stewart, Tabori, and Chang books the ones you gravitate towards as well? I could (and do) sit and read these books like a novel. The photos are gorgeous and they obviously hold high standards for the products they publish, in quality of the design of the book and the design of the patterns. Take a look at Weekend Knitting and Last-Minute Knitted Gifts if you don't believe me!
Ok, nuff said. I think this is a great book with designs that can appeal to a wide range of knitters and knittees. I made the ballet T-shirt in one day and am on to number 2! I want many things out of this book so I can't name them all...just check it out and see for yourself!
Lots of errors.......2007-03-12
As an experienced knitter, I found the ideas very interesting and exciting. However, knitting the actual pieces is fraught with frustration. The instructions are both poorly written and contain *a lot* of errors. There are no 'correction' pages on her website nor did she answer any emails regarding the pattern instructions. Several expert knitter friends suggested that rather than continue to waste time attempting to dicipher and amend her instructions, I ought to simply look at the photographs and create my own set of instructions. Not at all what I expect from a knitting magazine editor and designer. However, the ideas are certainly interesting--which the only reason I gave it 2 stars.
Book Description
By her own admission, Teva Durham used to be a “knit snob.” No longer. Now, the influential needlecraft guru has become a “two-timer,” bringing the same ingenuity, innovative eye, and solid fashion sense that she's always exhibited in her knitting design to the world of crochet.
In Loop-d-Loop Crochet, Durham presents more than 25 designs that are as up-to-the-minute, style-wise, as they are thoroughly steeped in crochet stitchwork tradition. Each of the projects, which range from purses, skirts, shawls, and sweaters for the whole family to a hammock and a pair of brocade boots, epitomizes Durham's signature design sensibility, which she describes as “a tension of opposites—rough-hewn yet delicate, stark yet feminine, organic yet structured.” Decked out in evocative color photographs (by Adrian Buckmaster), a diverse cast of models show off the finished garments.
Beginner and advanced crocheters will find Durham's novel approach refreshing and inspiring. And for newcomers just making the switch from knitting, Loop-d-Loop Crochet provides the perfect introduction to what Durham terms the “flip side” of needlecraft's heritage. Crochet is a freeing experience, Durham says—a sentiment with which her many fans are certain to agree.

not scary, very unique.......2007-10-08
I have this book and am currently working on the clover fan jacket. It is truly a unique design. I am happy that these unique wearable designs are finally being published for us hookers! My next project in this book will be the lazy wheels coat. Maybe this is the scary design? It does have a hemline that is reminicent of spider webs. But, it is also reminicent of the beautiful duster coats worn by women at the turn of the ninteenth century. It needs to be worn by someone with alot of flair which I intend to have! Overall great designs with detailed and easy to understand instructions.
Yawn. Yawn. Gasp. Yawn........2007-10-05
This is a very strange book; the pictures are scary, but hey, it's getting to be Halloween. There are two or three garments at most which are worthy of being in a book at all. The designs in the early part of the book -- well, save your money and truck on over Groovy Crochet. However, the Granny Squarish section at the back yields an amazing sweater composed -- on the front, at least -- of some lovely large crocheted motifs, and this sweater has the potential to transcend all the other designs and actually become art. I plan to crochet motifs for the back as well, and re-design the sleeves, and -- what was she thinking -- ditch the faux-ribbing around the midriff -- the last place even slender people want that kind of clingy bulk. That said, it won't resemble the sweater in the book at all, will it? But that's a good thing. Overall, I feel slightly ill that I plunked down the money on the hardcover edition of this book. I am Googling in vain for the errata for this book, which I read somewhere was/were forthcoming. Regardless, the instructions for the motifs seem to be working out well enough so far.
The cape on the cover, by the way, would certainly work up to be stiff, heavy, and a mighty awkward length for just about any figure type, but that collar is what drew me in, and maybe it's just the Halloween spirit doing its thing on my head, but it's definitely on my list of things to make this fall.
Great work Teva.......2007-09-19
Another wonderful book from the endlessly talented Teva Durham. The design and photography are, as expected, terrific, but I think she's really broken new ground with these crochet designs. I hope she does a second crochet book.
genius!.......2007-07-25
Just like Teva, I used to be a knit-snob. I'd hang my head in shame here, but let's face it -- a lot of the pattern books that were out there left a little bit to be desired unless you really liked doilies and tin-can-hats.
This book, to me, is proof that crochet designers have finally pulled their heads out of somewhere uncomfortable and are making wonderfully constructed, gorgeous, stylish garments and accessories that aren't even remotely doily-like. Gone are the southern-belle toilet paper cozies, and in the vaccuum created by the absence are these *amazing* creations.
From shawls that aren't remotely stiff to sweaters that sculpt and drape, Teva's book takes crochet to a new level. It's slightly fantastic (I always think of wood nymphs with her designs in this book for some reason), a little bit practical (the sizing is ranged from small to, in some cases, XXL), and totally inspirational.
There have been more crochet books on my bookshelves these days, and I'm glad that this book is one of them. Whether you're just picking up a hook and haven't gone much past the single and double crochet steps, or you've been a hooker for years, it's a great addition to your collection.
Sensational.......2007-06-27
The designs in this book are beautiful, and there are a few patterns for round people like myself. Many have a retro feel and can be worn by any age - how you wear them would determine the look you achieve. The cover cape is absolutely gorgeous as is the lacy capelet and the child's bolero. Worth every cent for inspiration alone. I will have even more difficulty than a previous reviewer in finding the yarns here in Australia, but substitution of other yarns is a possibility - something I'm learning to do a lot more - tension squares and ball yardage help with this. A very exciting book.

Enjoyable knits.......2007-01-03
I purchased this book a while back because it was one of the few books I flipped through where I could see myself wearing almost all of the patterns featured. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and the end results have been fantastic for everything I have knitted using them. Its true the yarn used is quite expensive but I have substituted other more affordable yarns for all my projects and they have turned out nicely. I have really enjoyed this book.
Beautiful patterns-expensive yarns.......2004-10-22
If you are looking for a book with beautiful, sophisticated accessories, and you have the money to buy expensive yarns this book is for you. I love the designs, but I can't really afford to make many of the items. Many of them could easily cost you more than $100. I don't know about anyone else, but if I had that much money to spend on a simple, knitted accessory I would probably be buying it from a famous designer rather than making myself.
Read Editorial Review first.......2004-10-14
I didn't buy this book because I read the editorial review first - seeing that it said "patterns from the archives...".
It's a nice idea and some people actually want a bound collection of past patterns some don't.
Duplicated patterns.......2004-10-13
I was looking forward to this book so much, but I was vastly disappointed. At least half of the patterns in this book are reprinted from other Vogue Knitting books that I already own. I give it three stars because I am upset that I spent the money on this book and nowhere does it state that these are not new designs and have been reprinted from their other books. However, if you do not own any of the other books and you are only interested in accessories then you will probably enjoy this book.

Sixty fabulous patterns, gathered in a concealed spiral-bound volume that conveniently stays open for easy reading, feature blankets for both knitters and crocheters that range from simple to advanced. A Soft Diamonds Afghan features delicate, creamy-white wool with blue edging, and is beautiful enough to drape decoratively over a chair or couch. Or, make a Shell Crochet Baby Blanket, a very masculine Plaid Tapestry, a Handloomed Homespun Afghan, an Open Window design with a matching pillow, and many other exquisite designs.
Customer Reviews:
Good patterns and book design.......2007-09-22
If you crochet or both knit and crochet,you should be pleased with these patterns. The majority are for crocheters and,although the designs are traditional,there are quite a variety. This book is not for people who only knit or are looking for trendy designs because there are few of either. I especially liked the categorization for patterns (e.g., "easy stripes", "timeless classics")and the spiral binding is great (wish all knit and crochet books would use it).The graphed designs are generally well done. All in all,the book is worth the price.
mostly crochet.......2007-09-17
Despite the negative reviews, I ordered this and am not disappointed. Of the 60 afghans, less than 1/3 are for knitters but crocheters have a nice assortment. The spiral binding which lays flat is great. The book has no introduction, no learning pages and also no attributions to the designers. Five of the big yarn companies have contributed all the patterns but I've been checking their websites and haven't found any of them around. Each pattern has one page of instructions and one very pretty page in color of the afghan. I really want to knit Go graphic which begins in the center of a square and works out with M1 stitches for 5 colors altogether. Another center start square also knit is Nursery throw.Octagon afghan also knit is an interesting one being done in octagons and squares. The crochet afghans have some interesting items also: Amish blocks is very attractive as is Harlequin diamonds and Prairie star. Floral water lily is a nice one in afghan stitch with a pretty embroidery worked after. Autumnal harvest done in a variegated with yellow and cream colors also, is very bright and attractive. There are several ripple and granny afghans to choose from.
Two unusal afghans are commemoratives, one for police and one for firemen and they need duplicate stitch or embroidery added. All of the afghans appear to be quite easy to make.
Should be retitled Afghans to CROCHET...........2005-07-13
and a few to knit (16 out of 60 are knit patterns). As a knitter only, the few patterns in here that are knit are uninspired, the yarn choices blah at best (it IS nice to see some low to mid range yarns, but some of the choices are horrid), and I can get most of these patterns online for free. I am mostly peeved at the large amounts of publications out there that claim to be knit AND crochet, but turn out to be mostly crochet......I'm glad I picked this up at the library and didn't waste my money
Not for knitters.......2005-07-07
This book is a disappointment. I knit. I do not crochet. If there are 60 afghans in this book, there are probably no more than 10 or 15 for knitters. I don't know the exact number because they are not organized or identified in any way. You have to thumb through the book one by one and look for whether it calls for a needle or a hook.
The designs are uninspired. The yarns all look the same. Someone said it has a discount-store look to it, and that describes it very well. Actually, I've seen better designs at the discount store.
The one knit design I found interesting was photographed in a close-up, so you could only see about 12" of a large afghan with a big pattern repeat. Who would want to knit a 60" afghan without first seeing a picture of the whole thing?
The nice wire binding doesn't make up for what is, or is not, between the covers. "Under Cover" underperforms. There are lots of better books out there.
Pedestrian; very disappointing.......2004-10-25
I'm coming off a Trisha Malcolm high with her brilliant Vogue Crochet Scarf book. Because of that, I was felt doubly let down when I reviewed this book. I find the patterns very dull and worse, the large % of big "motif" or seasonal patterns amateurish. I read the entire book at a bookstore and found only one crochet block (a hexagon) worth note... and I was able to memorize that. I can't emphasize enough that this is a book you should see before buying. I'm sure glad I did.
