Craft As a Spiritual Practice

Available for the first time in paperback, The Knitting Sutra reveals how women can learn to knit their way to nirvana.

When Susan Gordon Lydon was coping with a broken arm, her craft took on new significance. While knitting was essential to strengthening her hands, it also provided her with a newfound sense of peace and creativity. Immersed in brilliant colors, textures, and images of beautiful sweaters, Lydon found healing and enlightenment in a way she had never imagined. Capturing this journey of discovery, The Knitting Sutra recounts her remarkable membership in a community of craftswomen around the world, from sweater makers in Scotland to Navajo weavers, and the adventures that her craft led her on.

As she masters new techniques and conquers old obstacles, Lydon’s story conveys how the lessons she learned from knitting, such as stillness and interdependence, later sustained her through a cancer diagnosis and even the incapacitation of her hands. The Knitting Sutra is both a meditation on craft and an affirmation for anyone seeking heartfelt comfort.

Everything You Need to Make Your Own Pair of Paper Shoes

When is a book not a book? When it's a pair of shoes, of course. All you need is a pair of scissors, some glue, and this book, and you can make any of the twelve fully wearable paper shoes shown left. This is no ordinary book. Its covers turn into soles. Its pages turn into uppers and treads, and the Velcro tabs inside become the fasteners for the basic sport shoe and boot. In addition to a complete set of patterns for all twelve original designs, you will find a separate book with clearly illustrated step-by-step instructions to guide you through this remarkable process. But it does not end with just one pair. You can make pair after pair of paper shoes, choosing different papers for the uppers to create a colorful array of shoes to use for any occasion! The patterned paper used in the kit is the one shown on this shoe.
