Reader reviews for Knitlandia: A Knitter Sees the World: New York Times Bestseller

From the publisher

A New York Times Bestseller

What happens when a love of knitting becomes a way of seeing the world?

In Knitlandia, writer and fiber expert Clara Parkes invites readers along on a series of journeys shaped by curiosity, craft, and place. Drawing on more than a decade of travel, Parkes shares seventeen deeply personal essays that explore how knitting opens doors-to people, traditions, landscapes, and unexpected moments of connection.

From windswept fjords in Iceland to a beloved yarn shop in Paris's 13th arrondissement, Parkes treats each destination as more than a stop on a map. Knitting becomes a lens through which culture is understood, creativity is practiced, and a meaningful life is built stitch by stitch.

Written with warmth, wit, and an eye for the telling detail, these essays blend travel writing, memoir, and cultural history in a voice that feels companionable rather than authoritative.

Readers will travel with Parkes to experiences such as:

  • Visiting iconic yarn regions and fiber traditions around the world
  • Exploring creative communities in places like Taos, Tacoma, and Portland
  • Behind-the-scenes moments at festivals including the New York Sheep & Wool Festival
  • Encounters with local makers, shepherds, shop owners, and artisans
  • Reflections on how craft shapes identity, creativity, and a sense of home

Beloved by knitters and makers-and equally engaging for fans of reflective travel writing-Knitlandia celebrates curiosity, craft, and the quiet joy of paying attention. Whether you're an armchair traveler or someone already planning your next adventure, this is a book about finding meaning in the journeys we take and the work we love to do.
