Part of my job is to search blogs to find the latest books and shops throughout the U.S. <BR/><BR/>On shopyarn.com we are going to add patterns and other knitting related books and would like reviews about them. I saw your blog and would like to ask permission to feature the following quote on our site. <BR/><BR/>"I just finished "The Knitting Circle" by Ann Hood. I felt rather voyeuristic as I read this novel, knowing how closely it mirrors her own experience. Her five-year-old daughter, Grace, died unexpectedly from complications from strep a few years ago. In the book a young daughter also dies and it is told from the perspective of the mother who finds herself learning to knit. The author also learned to knit when the usual comfort she found in writing and reading and language in general had left her after the loss of her daughter. I am not the sort of person who cries easily while reading but this one did it."<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thank You,<BR/>Margaret<BR/>Shopyarn.com<BR/>Margaret@directionpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33648517.post-64260728062899592062007-05-01T16:13:00.000-04:002007-05-01T16:13:00.000-04:00your art is hanging over my writing desk right now...your art is hanging over my writing desk right now.
