Knitting & Conversation with Chloe Benjamin, author of Under Story

It turns out that one of our favorite authors is also an avid knitter. So much so that the publisher of her most recent book, Penguin Random House, arranged for a knitwear pattern and custom-dyed yarn for a knit-along to celebrate the book’s release. Knowing that we have a number of in our community, we decided to join in the fun; being renegades, we made up our own rules. Nevertheless, the result has been a robust group of knitters coming together at the store every Tuesday morning.

We may not have followed the Under Story pattern, but we’ve invited Chloe Benjamin to join us on December 15th to talk about Under Story, writing, and knitting. To sweeten the deal, we’ll be serving scones and tea––and All are welcome, no knitting skills needed, but please RSVP.

A breathless page-turner and a love letter to our planet, Under Story grapples with the great questions of our time: human hubris, the precarity of the natural world, and the mysterious webs of consciousness that bind us. A modern epic of science and soul, of bravery and redemption, it offers a vision of the future that demands we reckon with what we owe to one another, and to the earth itself.
