In this book, the knitting group focuses on prayer shawls.

I enjoyed "catching up" with the familiar characters from the other two books and "meeting" the new members. ( )

Not as good as the first one, but still a very good read. Makes me want to knit. ( )

In Back on Blossom Street Lydia starts another knitting class, this time for a prayer shawl. In her class are Susannah, the owner of the flower shop next door; Colette, Lydia's tenant in her old apartment above the store and Susannah's employee; Alix Townsend, an original member of Lydia's knitting classes; and Margaret, Lydia's sister.

Susannah plays a very small part in this book and this is probably because she gets her own book, Susannah's Garden, that is a 'spin-off' from the Blossom Street series.
Colette's storyline is a little annoying and contrived. I didn't really like it and it made me not like her so much. I get why the story was written as it was, but it really is just a very tired story.
Alix's story was probably the best. She is engaged to Jordan and dealing with a lot of pre-wedding jitters. For anyone who has planned a wedding, it makes quite a bit of sense. It is a little over dramatic, though.
Margaret and Lydia's story was another annoying one. Margaret's daughter, Julia, is carjacked and Margaret becomes obsessed with finding the perpetrator. Way over-the-top here. Plus, since Margaret isn't a point-of-view character, the reader never really gets to understand her feelings--just how Lydia sees them.
Overall, I was disappointed with this book. I was happy to keep following along with the Blossom Street characters, but this was a dip in the series for me. I'm hoping the next one, Twenty Wishes Blossom Street 4, is much better. ( )

The Blossom Street bunch is back . Alix and Jordan are getting married. However, some new characters are added. They are just as special as the rest. I feel like I know all of the people of Blossom Street and I can't wait for the next book. This book is an easy and relaxing read. ( )

The women of Blossom Street are back, with some new guests, as usual! This time around, Alix and Jordan are getting married and there's a widow living in Lydia's old apartment. It's a great look at how far some of the characters have come (namely Alix), and I hope we'll hear more about Colette, the widow, in a future book. ( )
