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 worldExploring creative communities in places like Taos, Tacoma, and PortlandBehind-the-scenes moments at festivals including the New York Sheep & Wool FestivalEncounters with local makers, shepherds, shop owners, and artisansReflections on how craft shapes identity, creativity, and a sense of homeBeloved by knitters and makers--and equally engaging for fans of reflective travel writing--Knitlandia celebrates curiosity, craft, and the quiet joy of paying attention.
