Sweet story, just what I was in the mood to read at the time. It definitely made me want to start knitting during and after I finished reading it. It's kind of like the Jane Austen book club but with knitting replacing the books :). ( )

I just finished The Friday Night Knitting Club. I found it hard to get into at first. I love knitting and have been in knitting groups. About 100 pages in I got the feeling of the group. Then I couldn't put the book down. I am not sure how I feel about the end. I wanted more. ( )

It was a good book! A story of friendship, mothers and daughters, and losing someone you love. It does have a sad ending. ( )

I read this book after having several of my friends recommend it. It was also a book club selection for our work book club. I thought it was going to be great but I was pretty disappointed. I didn't really think the females in the book were all that spectacular. They all had issues which just annoyed me more than anything. I didn't care about any of these characters! Maybe there were too many people...I'm not really sure but I felt like I didn't really get to know any of them. I also thought it was way too predictable to be sad at the end. This book seemed to have way to many cliches...unwed mother, cheating, widower, woman scorned, feminist etc etc. The writing wasn't terrible so it would be a good book if you just want something you don't have to think about but if you want something a little deeper try something else.

I loved the story and the women! I was a part of a craft group of women (making baskets) for seventeen years. So I could identify. We got each other through life, and much of the time was talking, not necessarily weaving. As was shown in this story, we "raised" each other's children. The book is not very well written, a bit stilted. But I enjoyed the topic and will probably read more of Kate Jacobs' books. ( )
