An intimate memoir and a recounting of the exciting coalescence of a vibrant and extraordinary community. Joe Wilcox documents from its beginnings, the formation of an unwitting community that demonstrates the enormous power of bringing together outsiders into a space of celebration-and in the process, explores the insights of creating deeply connected relationships that formed in the process. Wilcox fully examines the core idea of weaving connections in the structure of crafting communities.

Stumbling into becoming a knitter in his twenties and following his history of participating in various groups and communities is something that is surprisingly relatable for anyone that may have felt like an outsider or yearned to be part of a larger community of one's own. The pursuit of joy and pride in accomplishment and in bringing together a magical community of like-minded outsiders makes for a fascinating journey. Joe Wilcox, is a lifelong knitter, who has blogged about where this journey has taken him for over two decades. He has also written the ultimate design for knitting together a most amazing community.
