Started off slow with a lot of characters to keep track of but as I got further into the story it became more interesting hearing the little details of peoples lives and their inner thoughts. It definitely took a turn I did not expect towards the very end that left me crying in a book, one of the only times I have.
Georgia raised her 13-year-old daughter all on her own in New York while starting up her own yarn store. She didn’t need any help from a man or her family. All she needed was her friends. Slowly a group of women began gathering ever Friday night in the shop to work on their knitting projects leading each of them to tell their stories and learn about each other.
Definitely a emotional book, great read for women, especially if you are fond of knitting. You don’t even have to know how to knit in order to enjoy the journey and struggle of these women.

This was a really fun book to read till I had about 100 pp left and a patron at the library mentioned what a great book it was, but also made a comment that gave away the ending--which I will not do to anyone else!!! I decided now that I knew the end I had to finish it and I stayed up way too late and did! I don't know how I would have liked it if I didn't know the ending, but I really enjoy Kate Jacobs' writing and plan to read more of her books down the road.

Live the knitting and New York setting, but the ending was both cruel and cheesy. I can’t believe this is a series

Readers, if you are not particularly enjoying this book or liking the characters, this is one to give up on. The ending does not make up for anything.

On the whole. . meh. It was like the author had attempted to pull together a poignant story and play out her own knitting club fantasy at the same time. Utterly forgettable characters. Utterly forgettable book!

This was just one of the fun reads, or so I thought. It ended up making me cry as well as laugh. For a first time author, I thought she did an amazing job in bringing out the emotions of each character.

I really tried to like it but I just couldn't get into it. It seemed like the story line was too slow. I didn't finish reading it.

About 50 pages into this book I found myself thinking about how saccharin quality of the dialogue. I kept reading in hopes that it would improve. It didn't.
