completely engrossed in The Curse of the Boyfriend Sweater..."

and unexpectedly soft sweater does. Alanna is so sharp and so
charming and so genuinely warm that, regardless of your prior
experience with crafting, you will only want to put down this book
if it is to make something yourself--and you know Alanna would
approve."

Relations "Alanna Okun's poignant, hilarious, and infinitely
instructional essays about crafting will help you have a more
beautiful life, whether you ever pick up a pair of knitting needles
or not."
