Friday Night Knitting Club
I finished http://www.fridaynightknittingclub.com/ last night. This has been on my Amazon wish list for a while, and Brian purchased it for me as a Christmas gift. The thing is truly worn - it took a beating in my bag during Arisia when it had a run-in with a leaky water bottle and then had to dry on our front hallway radiator for a few days, open in the middle - it is truly a worn thing of beauty.
Anyone who knits, or has a family-like group of friends, or has family or family issues, or has felt alone, or has struggled against adversity, or loves cities, or cares about where they come from, or just likes getting into the interesting characters of a book, living out their lives should enjoy this book. I will definitely be getting the sequel. I should warn you that it gets quite emotional in spots, and I did tear up at one such moment (which is rare for me with books).
I'd love to lend this out to someone, but if you borrow you have to promise to read and return in a reasonable amount of time so that I can pass it on to someone else. It seems that my most favorite books are the ones that get abandoned in people's houses, never to be seen again for some reason. :)
