While recovering from a painful divorce, Laurie Perry discovered knitting and it changed her life. Her subsequent “misadventures” as she struggles post-divorce will appeal to anyone who has ever suffered from a broken heart – whether a knitter or not. She adopted the Crazy Aunt Purl persona and shares her trials and tribulations with millions on the Internet through her daily blog. Perry has included 14 knitting projects with her memoir which are detailed as knitting “recipes” and are easy enough for beginning knitters. It’s like having your best friend sitting on the couch next to you. 14 projects—261 pages  | Softcover Retail: $15.95 Item No. 31021
