Description
She's back. And crazier than ever. In her debut narrative, "Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair," blogger extraordinaire Laurie Perry gave people a hilarious yet heartfelt glimpse into her misadventures as a recent divorcee with three cats, a slight wine and Cheetos problem, and scores of unfinished-and-uneven knitting projects. Now, in her second installment, she's done drunk-dialing her ex, and has moved on to make the best out of the "extra odd bits"-both in her knitting projects and in her life, from getting her house in order, or "procrasti-cleaning," to curbing expenses, from "green guilt" and pre-date nausea, to winning the battle of the bulge (think Spanx!). Whether readers are Laurie Perry fans, or die-hard or beginning knitters, they'll find more adventures, eclectic projects, and, of course, more cocktails (and cats) on Laurie's quest to, like most women, find enlightenment, purpose, and balance in a topsy-turvy world. The following knitting recipes are included, with matching wine accompaniments:
Knitted Holiday Hats: Pumpkin Cap, Santa Hat, Turkey Hat
Retro Crocheted Toilet Paper and Toilet Lid Cozy
Personal Massager Cozy
Retro Faux-Macrame Plant Hanger
Knitted Date-Night Purse
Knitted Flower
Knitted Bracelets (or Anklet)
