About this listen

A hilarious, heartfelt romp that will bring you home to yourself. You don’t have to be a knitter to fall in love with this book - any person who’s ever made anything with their hands will dive joyfully into these minutes and come back up renewed and ready to create.

This beloved best seller is newly updated with fresh stories and extra devotion to the happiness found in everyday tools.

Internationally best-selling author Rachael Herron shows that when life unravels, there’s usually a way to knit it back together again, and if there’s not, there’s still hope to be found in the simple tools of the craft. Honest, funny, and full of warmth, Herron’s tales, each inspired by something she knitted, will speak to anyone who’s ever loved (or lost). From her very first sweater (a hilarious disaster) to the yellow afghan that caused a breakup (and, ultimately, a breakthrough), every chapter has a moving story behind it. This beautifully candid collection about crafting the art of happiness through joy and grief is perfect for fans of Elizabeth Gilbert and Glennon Doyle.

Critic Reviews

“Insightfully genius, A Life in Stitches makes me grateful that Rachael Herron put down her needles long enough to pick up a pen.” (Josh Kilmer-Purcell, New York Times best-selling author of The Bucolic Plague)

Rachael's storytelling is incredible, and her stories were such a tonic to life. I felt like I was there picking out yarn, meeting her friends and family. The mix of laughter and tears was knitted together so cleverly. Brilliant writing.

I didn't want the book to finish.
