In this lively, funny memoir, Peggy Orenstein sets out to make a sweater from scratch—shearing, spinning, dyeing wool—and in the process discovers how we find our deepest selves through craft. Orenstein spins a yarn that will appeal to everyone.
The COVID pandemic propelled many people to change their lives in ways large & small. Some adopted puppies. Others stress-baked. Peggy Orenstein, a lifelong knitter, went just a little further. To keep herself engaged & cope with a series of seismic shifts in family life, she set out to make a garment from the ground up: learning to shear sheep, spin & dye yarn, then knitting herself a sweater.
Orenstein hoped the project would help her process not just wool but her grief over the recent death of her mother & the decline of her dad, the impending departure of her college-bound daughter, & other thorny issues of aging as a woman in a culture that by turns ignores & disdains them. What she didn’t expect was a journey into some of the major issues of our time: climate anxiety, racial justice, women’s rights, the impact of technology, sustainability, & , ultimately, the meaning of home.
With her wry voice, sharp intelligence, & exuberant honesty, Orenstein shares her year-long journey as daughter, wife, mother, writer, & maker—& teaches us all something about creativity & connection.
PEGGY ORENSTEIN is the New York Times bestselling author of Boys & Sex, Don’t Call Me Princess, Girls & Sex, Cinderella Ate My Daughter, Waiting for Daisy, Flux, & Schoolgirls. A frequent contributor to the New York Times, she has written for the Washington Post, the Atlantic, AFAR, the New Yorker, & other publications, & has contributed commentary to NPR’s All Things Considered & the PBS NewsHour.
