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.Binding Type: Hardcover

Fast drying polyester short for casual wear or to use at the beach
Size: Small, Color: Army Green, Size: Small, Color: Army Green
The TACVASEN men's 7" casual beach shorts are lightweight stretchy polyester shorts featuring an elastic waist band for added comfort. These shorts are nicely constructed and durable with no visible signs of defects out of the package. These shorts wear and feel comfortable for all types of activities or for just casual wear if you just want to lounge around. There are two average sized pockets one on each side and one zippered side pocket for added security and a rear pocket suitable for a normal sized wallet. I'm a 5'10" man and these shorts reach to the top of my knee. These shorts also have an average sized drawstring for added tightness if desired. The polyester material allows for fast drying. Overall these shorts offer a good value for wearing to most occasions.

Great casual shorts
Size: Small, Color: Blue Gray
These men’s water-resistant beach shorts have been a great purchase. I got them for my son, and he says they’re extremely comfortable. He especially loves how soft the material feels, which makes them easy to wear all day at the beach, pool, or just casually around town.
The water-resistant fabric works well and dries quickly, which is a huge plus for swimwear. They fit nicely and allow for plenty of movement without feeling stiff or heavy. Overall, these are comfortable, well-made shorts with great material, and my son has been really happy with them.

Nice shorts but no fly
Size: Medium, Color: Blue Gray, Size: Medium, Color: Blue Gray
These shorts are well made with three pockets on the sides, 2 standard and one zippered, along with one pocket on the back. They are made of a polyester fabric and do feel as though they will be waterproof. They are well constructed and should hold up well. My issue with these shorts is that they have no fly, just fake stiching on the front. Yes, they say they are for the beach, but that is no reason not to have a fly. Swim trunks are one thing, no one expects a fly on them, but on shorts, yes I do. I always like to include a picture of the laundry instructions,, I hate getting something and discovering it takes special care.
