Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off: The Yarn Harlot's Guide to the Land of Knitting Audiobook

" It's not bad, for what it is, but if you read all of her books, they betray a certain sameness, even accounting for their all being about knitting. To that, I have no objection whatsoever; to running out of new things to say about a subject and yet continuing to write and sell books about it, I do. "

" Though amusing enough to make me giggle out loud, this latest offering from the Yarn Harlot retreads a great deal of ground already covered in her previous books and on her blog. I suggest reading this one in the bookstore - or, better yet, making sure the Harlot's blog feed is on your daily reading list. "

" Biased because I love the author - witty, wry, self deprecating, applicable to worlds beyond knitting, sly, just dang funny! Having met her at a book signing, just a lovely woman. I recommend all her books, as well as her blog. VEry funny!! "

" I went to see her speak on her recent book tour. She was so funny. I liked the book. It it just about the crazy world of knitting. "

" I really like the Yarn Harlot. I've read several of her other books and I faithfully read her blog. That being said, this book just did not entertain me. "

" Not my favorite from the Yarn Harlot's repertoire but still full of helpful and humourous advice. I wasn't really a fan of the travel theme. That being said I did read it all in record time and had a few chuckles along the way. "

" I loved the audio book. It felt like Stephanie was in the room talking to you. "

" What a fun read. Now if I could just get all my non-knitter friends to read this, Maybe they'd get it. "

" The author seems like a friendly enough person and a darn good knitter, but I really don't get the fuss about her and her books. If you like yarn and Andy Rooney, you will dig Yarn Harlot. "

" If you like knitting, and you can't use the restroom without reading, this book will find a cherished place in the basket by your toilet. "

" I love the books by Yarn Harlot, but I must say that this one is not quite as good as the others. But still a nice read. "

" Horrifically boring, could not finish it. This is one book to judge entirely by it's cover. "

" I liked her 1st 2 books better, but I still really enjoyed it! "

" Makes me really wish I had more knitting friends. "

" As knitting books go I think this is probably a pretty good one. "

" My least favorite of Stephanie's usually great books. "

" I liked the other one better. "

" This book is for readers who are truly totally new to knitting. If you're already familiar with terms like "second sock syndrome" and the concept of the "stash," you probably won't find anything new here. A very lightweight book. "

" A wonderful excursion to a knitting land of enchantment with a language all its own. The Yarn Harlot is the perfect tour guide into this land and all its nuances. I found it perfectly entertaining. "

" Eh. Picked it up from the library. Pretty quick read, pretty fluffy, very little actual knitting info. "

" I am a big fan of the Yarn Harlot, but I found the writing really strained in this one. The travel metaphor would work well in an essay; in a book, it just wears thin. People who don't care about the writing itself, but just the humor and the content, won't have the same problem reading it. "

" Some laugh-out-loud parts, but it did start to feel like the same 3 jokes being repeated. "

" What a fun read. Now if I could just get all my non-knitter friends to read this, Maybe they'd get it. "

" I loved the audio book. It felt like Stephanie was in the room talking to you. "

" As knitting books go I think this is probably a pretty good one. "

" I love the books by Yarn Harlot, but I must say that this one is not quite as good as the others. But still a nice read. "

" Listened to the audio version. I love her books! I especially love to sit and listen to them while knitting or partaking in one of my many craft addictions! So soothing and laugh-out-loud funny! I highly recommend any one of her books for any crafty type person! "

" Eh. Picked it up from the library. Pretty quick read, pretty fluffy, very little actual knitting info. "

" Always a good read for the knitting obsessed. When you are not knitting, it is good to read about knitting! "
