Knit Two - Kate Jacobs
Goodreads Summary: "The sequel to the number-one New York Times bestseller The Friday Night Knitting Club, KNIT TWO
returns to Walker and Daughter, the Manhattan knitting store founded by
Georgia Walker and her young daughter, Dakota. Dakota is now an
eighteen-year-old freshman at NYU, running the little yarn shop
part-time with help from the members of the Friday Night Knitting Club.
Drawn together by the sense of family the club has created, the knitters rely on one another as they struggle with new challenges: for Catherine, finding love after divorce; for Darwin, the hope for a family; for Lucie, being both a single mom and a caregiver for her elderly mother; and for seventy something Anita, a proposal of marriage from her sweetheart, Marty, that provokes the objections of her grown children.
As the club's projects - an afghan, baby booties, a wedding coat - are pieced together, so is their understanding of the patterns underlying the stresses and joys of being mother, wife, daughter, and friend. Because it isn't the difficulty of the garment that makes you a great knitter: it's the care and attention you bring to the craft, as well as how you adapt to surprises."
I so enjoyed The Friday Knitting Club, that I couldn't resist Knit Two, but I got this from the library as an audio book. It was a delightful "listen to". Knitting was what brought all of these women together, but friendship and love abounds, along with all the other feelings that make friendships grow stronger. It's a book that I could relate to and felt like I was a part of their group. Can't wait to listen to the next book.
