			        		&quot;In Knitlandia, Clara Parkes takes us from Taos to Reykjavik and beyond, knitting together stories of unique characters and places and yarn. Parkes is such an engaging guide into this world that by the end of the book you want to grab her by the knitting needles and beg to join her on her next trip.&quot; - Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle&quot;Within the fleeting world of social media, it&apos;s rare to find a collection of stories like Clara&apos;s in one place, stories that showcase the colorful richness and loving nature of our knitting community. In Knitlandia, her playful nature and eye for detail capture moments that make me enthusiastically proud to be a knitter.&quot; - Stephen West, Westknits&quot;No one but Clara Parkes could have written a book that contains such rich, knowing and sympathetic detail about the knitting world&apos;s most beloved gatherings. Based on Clara&apos;s previous books, I expected that from her. But Knitlandia&#xA0;has a delicious surprise: its emotional punch. This is a book for everyone who loves not just knitting, but the worldwide knitting community.&quot; - Kay Gardiner, Mason-Dixon Knitting&#x201C;A life entwined in yarn might mystify those who don&#x2019;t knit, but anyone versed in the language of skeins and cables will sigh with envy over Clara Parkes&#x2019;s new memoir, Knitlandia. Non-knitters will likely skip Parkes&#x2019;s slender volume, thus missing a fresh view of destinations both exotic and ordinary. But those who pick up a copy for a knitting friend should dip into a chapter or two. They&#x2019;ll soon wonder how quickly they can learn to wield needles and yarn, fashioning a shawlette or sweater that Clara Parkes would applaud.&#x201D; -Kathy Blumenstock, The Washington Post

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Knitting Blogger's Review
        
*by J***Y on March 31, 2016*

Knitlandia is a beautiful journey that Clara Parkes let's you in on. It brings to mind Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's books, which I adore, and the tone and chapter subjects are very similar (I wonder if they had the same editor).  Each chapter is like an essay that speaks about specific locations/events around the world that are of interest to a knitter (or not). In the chapter on Paris, France, Clara promises to not buy any yarn or even to go into any yarn stores. She succeeds in the first, not the second. The journey is familiar to me, as I have traveled to Myrtle Beach and have learned the joys of marking a road trip with yarn from the destination. I have also begun to venture (as funds allow) to yarn festivals, such as Rhinebeck.  Clara is often a teacher, and most of her chapters are from that perspective, which is heartwarming, not overly critical. I have always hesitated to take classes at festivals, because even though many think my knitting is expert, I have trouble with criticism. This book helped me with that a little, because as a sometime teacher, it shows how similar we are no matter what hat we are wearing.  Knitters really do have a wonderful club that has been cemented with Ravelry.com, craftsy.com, Interweave and VogueKnitting. There is nothing more relaxing than to go to Rhinebeck and be surrounded with people of all religions, heritage, and ages that are all yarn-crafters. The consideration that is generally there, the kindness, the camaraderie is wonderful. Even knitting/crocheting on a bus, a fellow crafter can, and will, acknowledge you with a nod and smile at least, just as if they were standing beside you at a yarn vendor at Rhinebeck and you reach for the same yarn.  The Iceland chapter was hilarious. As someplace I have daydreamed of going to, the chapter started out as an affirmation, to a "I am NEVER going there!", to a daydream again haha. But all in good fun with general information and kindness, so I'm still good with my daydreams of Iceland.  When I was doing video podcasting on youtube.com, I was aware of the birth of the Edinburgh yarn festival and as an American Scot, I hope to return there one day and visit. That chapter is more about the people than the festival, though. Can you imagine having a meal with Stephen West!? Even Clara is awed by who she meets there and that makes her all the more endearing. You never know who you will run into at a festival.  This book is worth the purchase or wait through the local library. It is endearing, funny, relatable and interesting. It has a little bit of something for everyone. If you enjoyed the books by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (all hail the Yarn Harlot!) you will enjoy this book, so check it out, check yourself in and sit back with your favorite beverage when you need to rest your hands from your yarncrafting. You will not be sorry.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It will NOT disappoint!!!
        
*by S***E on April 26, 2017*

Seldom does an author prompt me to laugh-out-loud while reading their book, but Clara Parkes' writing has this effect on me. This has been a delightful read...one that has sent me Googling more times than not a geographical location, a festival, a yarn store...I even calculated the distance from my sister's house to one of the festivals she writes about....future trip planning for sure!!!  Filled with short but riveting vignettes of her yarn travels, it is sure to satisfy the reader looking for something different.  Highly recommend this book
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A world full of fiber
        
*by J***M on April 22, 2016*

I'm a fiber junkie who loves to go to shows and retreats. Clara Parkes has nailed the atmosphere, excitement and just plain fun.  Her writing style is sophisticated--not gushy or cute as these things tend to be. Best of all she's taken me to events that I'll probably never get a chance to see.  If you wonder why your knitting, spinning and weaving friends wax poetic over yarn, this book will help clear up the mystery.
