Summary

"Whether we're facing anxiety, loneliness, or uncertain times, knitting is a powerful tool for survival--and a metaphor for life. Join economist and lifelong knitter Loretta Napoleoni on a voyage through history, following the yarn of social, economic, and political changes--and a personal journey of discovery as well, purling and stitching every step of the way in this remarkable exploration of the power of knitting." -- Back cover
