Yarn: Remembering the Way Home by Kyoko Mori
4.0
I am so glad that my friend Ginger lent me this book. I never would have found it on my own and it is such a good read. I may have to try knitting after all. If I went by Mori's definitions I think I would be better off as a knitter than a weaver.
Mori really knows how to write. Much of this book is about her writing life and what she does obviously works for her. There were phrases that I just wanted to reread and savor. Her comments about thread and yarn were lovely and were true. I also was impressed with Mori's ability to see her life and reflect on her past and present dispassionately. I don't have that kind of perspective in my life.
I would recommend this book to both knitters and writers. Mori's words could be of importance to both. I know I want to read more of her writing - I now have a couple of her books on my "to read" list.
Mori now teaches at George Mason. I wonder if she wants to come visit Ashland. She might be an intriguing speaker.
