Yarn: Remembering the Way Home by Kyoko Mori

2.0

I can't believe I finished this book, and I can't believe that it was published. The knitting/weaving/spinning component compelled me to read it, and I kept thinking the story would get more interesting. I think it would be really interesting to talk with Mori perhaps at a dinner party about her life and her devotion to fiber crafts, but to spend a few days reading about it was way too much of a commitment. She mentions in passing in the Epilogue that she keeps a black/white composition notebook which contains all the items that she has knit (for whom, with pattern modifications and yarn info). This notebook also contains random notes, phone #'s, flight information, etc. I thought that book might be more interesting to mine for memoir content and format.
