Follow the Yarn: The Knitting Wit & Wisdom of Ann Sokolowski

Temporary price reduction! This is not only a knitting book! Yes, it has lots of useful knitting tips, handed down by my knitting teacher, Ann, but sometimes you don't know what your story is until you start to tell it. What started as a lighthearted collection of Ann's knitting tips became something more as I followed the writing where it led me.

Amazingly, the yarn led right back to me. Ann's gift of trust in giving me her story to tell was the catalyst for this healing of a past trauma, and my own story shares space on the page, along with Ann's knitting tips, wisdom and life story.

Not really a knitting book, nor quite a memoir, nor just an autobiography, nor simply a tale of personal growth. It is a combination of all that, with the yarns interweaving, one color highlighting the other, one offsetting the other, in a unique tapestry called "Follow the Yarn.".

Gail Straub, co-founder of the Empowerment Institute and author of Returning to My Mother’s House, writes: "An inspiring tale of the author finding her voice as a writer. Reba’s clear, luminous style smoothly combines Ann Sokolowski’s encyclopedic knowledge of knitting with lively, humorous anecdotes. Follow the Yarn is a fitting tribute to a master teacher and a one-of kind-woman."

"Tattoo this on your eyelids! This book is really really good. . .It's got everything going for it; funny stories, heart warming anecdotes, awesome information about how to take care of your knits, and a mass of other little facts and details that range form interesting to 'ohmergawd how did I not know this???'," writes Theo DeAndrea.

Marilyn Graman, author and co-founder of Lifeworks states: "Who would think that great wisdom could be passed on by teaching and learning knitting? Not for knitting lovers only, this is a how-to-knit book, yes, but more importantly a story of healing and inspiring wisdom."

Follow the Yarn is an Amazon Kindle bestseller.
