{"product_id":"skein-paperback","title":"Skein - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 34, Christen is unemployed and lonely when, on a whim, she decides to knit a half-mile blue line from a bench to Bellingham Bay, a decision that cracks open a world of social interaction with her lovable and quirky neighbors. In the three and a half years she knits at the Bench, Christen visits a Trappist Monastery, falls in love, and recommits herself to the crazy life of a contemporary artist. Told with honesty and self-deprecating humor, Skein is both an intimate glimpse into Christen's psyche and a warm and sparkling account of a real neighborhood with all its joy and sorrow. Knitting in downpours, cold and record-breaking heat, Christen finally arrives at the Bay. In the end, her greatest artwork is the neighborhood that comes together in radical celebration and love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51319172825311,"sku":"9780692901502","price":17.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/FKJ_-aSYkT9780692901502.webp?v=1788366343","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/skein-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
