Barb's "The Art of Extreme Knitting" is a thrilling exploration of the intersection of fiber arts and existential dread. I mean, who needs peace of mind when you can knit a sweater that will inevitably be unravelled by a pack of wild squirrels?
While the book is a wild ride, I found the author's tendency to anthropomorphize inanimate objects to be a bit much. "The sweater was judging me," she writes. "It was a sweater that had seen it all." I'm not sure I buy it.
That being said, if you're looking for a book that will challenge your perceptions of reality and leave you questioning the nature of existence, then "The Art of Extreme Knitting" is the book for you.
