Default The Friday Night Knitting Club
Old 02-17-2008, 09:18 PM   #1 (permalink)

It's written by Kate Jacobs. Has anyone read it? I'm about half way done with it right now. :D I really like it. Here's some info on it.....


As a single mom in her late 30s, Georgia has her hands full juggling the demands of running the Walker & Daughter knitting store with the challenges of raising her spunky teen daughter, Dakota. Georgia's regular customers gather once a week to work on their latest projects and chat – and occasionally clash – about love, life, and everything else. The members of the Friday Night Knitting Club are as varied as the skeins of yarn in the shop's bins. There's Peri, a pre-law student turned handbag designer; Anita, a silver-haired uptown matron; Darwin, a somewhat aloof grad student; K.C., an out-of-work editor looking for inspiration, and Lucie, a petite television producer with a few surprises up her sleeve. But soon their quiet Friday nights are shaken up: James, Georgia's ex, wants to play a larger role in Dakota's life – and possibly Georgia's as well. Cat, a former high school friend, uneasily renews her bond with Georgia. And when the unthinkable happens, all of Georgia's customers are forced to realize they've created not just a knitting club, but a sisterhood.

It sounds good I like books like that they have a theme whether it is a bakery or some such I will look for it at my library next time I go.

It is on my list of "books to read". I thought it looked good. I'm in the middle of Debbie Macomber's "Dakota Home" right now and have her "The Manning Sisters" next on the pile.

I need to learn how to knit!!!

I read at least 3 times a week while at the gym on the bike. So, I'm able to go through a book about every 4-8 weeks or so. Yes...that's the only time I read.

I'm reading a Debbie Macomber book right. I'm about 3/4 of the way through it. It's called The Manning Sisters. I love Macombers style of writing. I've also loved this book.

Ooh, sounds good! Is it by the same author?

Ok, I just searched "Kate Jacobs" on MSN. The book is called Comfort Food. Looks interesting from just skimming the first chapter (you can read it on her website), but nothing about Knitting. Just lots of cooking. Still, interesting.
