Following the beloved #1 New York Times bestseller The Friday Night Knitting Club is this charming story of sisterhood. At the Manhattan knitting store founded by Georgia Walker, the members of the Friday Night Knitting Club—including Georgia’s college-age daughter, Dakota—rely on each other for help, even as they struggle with new challenges: for Catherine, finding love after divorce; for … 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 a 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…

good book, good author, well written,
I started reading this book and initially had trouble getting into it. But when I picked it back up in a couple of weeks, I was sucked into the story and couldn’t put the book down. The relationships of the Friday Night Knitting Club have changed since Georgia’s death. And her daughter, Dakota, has grown up and is maturing into a strong, decisive young woman.
As you continue to learn about the individuals that are part of the knitting club, you are drawn into more aspects of their lives…both present day and past. You are cheering them on, caring about their lives and how they are developing into the person they were meant to be, and crying as they endure various challenges. The story of the Friday Night Knitting Club will take you to Europe and you’ll fall in love with Marco and Roberto.
I can’t wait to start the third and final book in the series, Knit the Season.
Really good follow up to The Friday Night Knitting Club. There’s a third in the series and I’ll be reading that one too. These are great quick read books with wonderful characters and a nice story line. I like to read books like these after I’ve finished a 1000 page historical fiction book that was deep and required a lot of heavy thinking. This book and all Kate Jacobs books are great for a nice break for me. I recommend this series, especially if you knit or crochet and have ever belonged to a club.
Women helping each other. Loved it and know little about knitting!
I have read other books in this series. This one shows how life goes on and things change while the base remains the same.
Family and friends are everything.
I liked it. Glad there is another to follow.
I could identify with these characters. Well written
I read The Friday Night Knitting Club several years ago so I enjoyed catching up with these characters.
A very delightful book! The characters are true to life and you want to keep reading to see what continues to happen. Love it to the end.
Well-written with caring well-developed characters
Being a knitter I love reading about it. This story brings people together and their interest in knitting makes a difference to their daily life.
I loved this book. A group of very different women get together for knitting, but stay together for friendship,. If you can start with first book in series.
Slightly boring, characters uninspirational
Fun read
Best if you read Friday Night Knit Club first.
I enjoyed all the books in this series to date. Fun reads.
