Summary: Knitting Life
Comment: I really enjoyed this book and would recommended to anyone I know. I initially bought it unsure that it was really a book for me, but was I happily surprised. For me at least, this book in its creation shows the complexity of life with the complexity of learning how to knit. It can be frustrating at first but eventually you will create something of very own that you can be proud of. And yes there may be times where you will unravel some of your work to rework it, but you will learn something in the process that makes you a better knitter. But in the end, like life, you must bind your work off to begin a new one.
Yes, I'm a sap, but overall I think most anyone will enjoy this book. ;o) Happy reading.

Summary: Unrealistic and cliche' ridden
Comment: Gutsy young woman topped by red hair with uncontrollable curls - her grandmother lives in Scotland, of course. - CHECK
"Wealthy socialite" friend with unlimited cash whose patronage promises to make her career - CHECK
Handsome successful father of her child who begins to see the light about the heroine and worships the child, also with unlimited cash - CHECK
2 bedroom apartment in Manhattan upstairs from a knitting shop which is somehow financed by an unmarried mother with a low paying job - CHECK
Quirky, racially diverse group of friends willing to give and receive their support to one another - CHECK
Kindly elderly friend with seemingly unlimited financial resources who convinces heroine to start the shop based on the amazing "gift" for knitting she witnesses from the red headed stranger's knitting on a park bench in NYC.
Down to earth, heart of gold, native New Yorker deli owner downstairs from the shop who looks out for their welfare of the cast- CHECK
Good fiction has the ability to make something not believable seem believable, but this doesn't do that - it is just too contrived, politically correct, and unrealistic to be enjoyable.

Summary: Friday Night Knitting Club
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. It was fairly predictable throughout, though there were a few unexpected twists. The message seemed to be that we can't run away from our family, and family love overcomes all other.

Summary: The Friday Night Knitting Club
Comment: This book was very easy (simple) reading, but never seemed to develop much of a plot. The characters seemed to be suited for 50+ year olds who never grew from the junior high stage of this type of story. After the first 14 chapters, I skipped to chapter 35 and finished the book, knowing the entire story.

Walker & Daughter is Georgia Walker's little yarn shop, tucked into a quiet storefront on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The Friday Night Knitting Club is improvised by some of Georgia's regulars, who stroll into the shop looking for tips on knitting and end up finding much, much more. So now, once a week, they gather to work on their latest projects and to chat--and occasionally clash--over their stories of love, life, and everything in between. However, unexpected changes soon throw these women's lives into disarray, and the shop's comfortable world gets shaken up like a snow globe. When the unthinkable happens, they realize what they've created--not just a knitting club, but a sisterhood.
