Zen and the Art of Knitting by Bernadette Murphy

This book explores what, arguably, everyone's grandmother always knew, that when passionate knitters become one with the craft, amazing things can happen. In Zen and the Art of Knitting, Bernadette Murphy explores how knitting fits into the larger scheme of life itself as meditation, creative expression, a gift to express love, a way to connect, and much, much more.

Bernadette Murphy is the author of three creative nonfiction books: The Tao Gals' Guide to Real Estate (co-authored with Michelle Huneven), The Knitter's Gift, and the popular Zen and the Art of Knitting (2002), in which she explores the connection between fiber arts, creativity, and spirituality via memoir and reportage. She worked as a weekly book critic for the Los Angeles Times for six years. Her personal articles and literary essays have featured in publications such as The Rumpus, Manifest Station, BOOK Magazine, Magazine, LA Weekly, San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News, Los Angeles Times Magazine, and others. She is presently a core faculty member of the Antioch University Los Angeles MFA department's creative nonfiction program. Visit bernadette-murphy.com for additional information.
