The Friday Night Knitting Club

Kate Jacobs "The Friday Night Knitting Club" was the chosen September 2008 book of the month for the Ratted Out Book Club. This book begins slowly and draws you in to the lives of a diverse group of women as seen through the eyes of the main character, Georgia Walker. This book is more about women, friendships, and life lessons than it is about knitting. Yet the art of knitting is as unique, soothing, frustrating, and educational as life is itself. A surprise ending led to much discussion about friendships, love, and life for our book club. I give this book a three star rating and look forward to Jacobs' next book (cooking anyone?).
