The Knitting Sutra: Craft as a Spiritual Practice
When Susan Gordon Lydon was coping with a broken arm, her knitting took on new significance. While knitting was essential to strengthening her hands, it also provided her with a newfound sense of peace and creativity, along with a meditative yet productive pursuit. Immersed in brilliant colors, textures, and images of beautiful sweaters, Lydon began to focus on her emotional life 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.
In gentle, reflective prose, Lydonâs story conveys how the lessons she learned from knitting, such as stillness and interdependence, later sustained her through a cancer diagnosis and shaped her perspective. Beautifully designed, in a package as vivid as Lydonâs writing, The Knitting Sutra is both a meditation on craft and an affirmation for anyone seeking heartfelt comfort.
