I’m almost done listening to this book and it is both intoxicating and deeply frustrating. It’s rare to have a book that I wish is another 2 hours longer but the undeveloped and unresolved subplots drive me crazy

Knitting is, by any standard, magic. Two sticks, a bundle of thread, and a series of knots should not a garment make. And still here I am with 1/3 of a sweater
