The Friday Night Knitting Club

By Kate Jacobs

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projects—and share the stories of their lives... At the center of Walker and Daughter is the shop’s owner, Georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. Happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her Friday Night Knitting Club, where she and her friends—Anita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie, and KC—exchange knitting tips, jokes, and their deepest secrets. But when the man who once broke Georgia’s heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughter’s life, her world is shattered. Luckily, Georgia’s friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle-making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they’ve created isn’t just a knitting club: it’s a sisterhood.

This is one of my absolute favorite books. I’m not a knitter but that’s not necessary for liking this book. I have read it and the two sequels many times. Love the characters. I look forward to reading these books like I do to listening g to my favorite music or watching my favorite movie. They give a lot of comfort.

Good book - unexpectedly sad turns - heartwarming - depth of female relationships comes through clearly.

I listened to this audio book while knitting bears for the mother bear project. It was ok, entertaining, but I am glad I listened to it rather that spent time reading it.

A feel good book with a very predictable storyline.
