Purl and stitch: Empowering, healing, and reconnecting us to each other and ourselves

In a fractured world plagued by anxiety and loneliness, knitting is coming to the rescue of people from all walks of life. Economist and lifelong knitter Loretta Napoleoni unveils the hidden power of the purl and stitch mantra: an essential tool for the survival of our species, a means for women to influence history, a soothing activity to calm us, and a powerful metaphor of life.

This book is a voyage through our history following the yarn of social, economic and political changes - from ancient Egypt and Peru to modern Mongolia, from the spinning bees of the American Revolution to the knitting spies of World War II, and from the hippies' rejection of consumerism to yarnbombing protests against climate change. For the author it is also a personal journey of discovery and salvation, drawing on the wisdom her grandmother passed along as they knit together.

Revealing recent discoveries in neuroscience, The Power of Knitting offers proof of the healing powers of knitting on our bodies and minds. Breaking through societal barriers, even nursing broken hearts, and helping to advance cutting-edge science, knitting is still a valuable instrument for navigating our daily lives.

As a bonus, the book includes patterns for ten simple yet iconic projects that reflect the creative, empowering spirit of knitting, with complete instructions.

Great Chew Toy for Daily Play
Size: 6 in, Color: Blue, Size: 6 in, Color: Blue
My dog absolutely loves this toy. From the first moment he grabbed it, he wouldn’t stop playing with it. He chews on it, runs around with it, and even sleeps with it sometimes. What I like most is how durable it is — even with constant biting, pulling, and chewing, it hasn’t broken or shown any damage. The material feels strong but still safe for him to chew. The texture also seems to keep him entertained because it massages his gums while he plays. It’s lightweight, easy for him to carry, and the shape makes it fun for both chewing and tossing. This toy has become one of his favorites, and I’m really happy with the quality. I would definitely recommend it for dogs who love to chew.

actually durable
Size: 6 in, Color: Blue
my puppy shreds every "indestructible" toy I give to her instantly. she's had one for months and it is only missing a corner of it, so I bought a spare. it also smells like food. she loves it.

Tough, Fun, and Actually Lasts! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Style: Black chew toys for dogs, Style: Black chew toys for dogs
I’m seriously impressed with the PUPTILY dog toys for aggressive chewers! My dog usually destroys toys within minutes, but these have held up surprisingly well. They’re durable, entertaining, and keep my pup busy for a long time without falling apart. The material feels strong and high quality, and I love that the toys help satisfy my dog’s chewing instincts while also helping with boredom. My dog gets so excited every time I bring them out. Definitely one of the best chew toy purchases I’ve made, and I would absolutely recommend them to other dog owners with heavy chewers! Also, for some reason my dogs like the black one much better than the more expensive tan ones.
