After her husband of eight years left her to “get his creativity back,” Crazy Aunt Purl took up knitting, not to unleash her Inner Domestic Goddess, but to keep from obsessing over him. She soon became addicted to knitting—from fondling new yarns at JoAnn Fabrics to putting down the Cheetos in favor of attending a knitting group. By “picking up the sticks,” she picked up her life. Here, in this spin-off of her wildly popular blog, www.crazyauntpurl.com (10,000 visitors a day!), she chronicles how she gets her groove back . . . while knitting some really cool (and really botched) stuff in the process.
Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair is the irreverent first-person narrative of Crazy Aunt Purl facing life as a contemporary cat-loving, divorced, knitting-obsessed female. Readers will laugh and cry with her as she gets dumped (“cast off” in knitting terms), gains weight (“casts on”), and finds new friends, and her true self, as she learns to knit.
