The True-Life Misadventures of a 30-Something Who Learned to Knit When He Split
Written by Laurie Perry, aka Crazy Aunt Purl, this is the much–anticipated spin–off of the blog phenomenon, www.crazyauntpurl.com www.crazyauntpurl.com.
Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair is the irreverent first–person narrative of a contemporary, displaced Southern woman, facing life after her husband leaves her to "get his creativity back." With infectious humor and heart, she explains how she gets her groove back after finding herself alone in a rented house with four cats, a mountain of boxes, and a slight wine–and–Cheetos problem. Reeling from the sting of divorce, it is the hobby of knitting, and the adventures it leads her to, which keep her from drunk–dialing her ex in a moment of weakness.
Readers will laugh and cry with her as she gets dumped, makes new friends, gains weight (aka The Divorce Diet), travels abroad, and navigates the ins and outs of the modern dating scene. With wit (and copious amounts of wine), she chronicles how "picking up sticks" helps her to pick up her life. Each group of vignettes features original knitting recipes with patterns and color photos, including a beginner scarf, her original Quick Bracelet Bag, Easy Roll–Brim Hat, and a striped cat tunnel called "The CATerpillar."
