Download Knit Two Conveyed By Kate Jacobs Shown In Hardcover

wish I could have given it,cuz it was a little better thanbut not quite, It was definitely not as good as the first one, which often is the case, This one focused on life after Georgia and it was a lot of sadness, The friends carried on and so did her daughter but it wasnt the same without her, Meh. I hate leaving negative reviews, as it seems like cultivating bad karma, since I'm a writer myself, But, talk about suspense of disbelief being blown to smithereens!

Every now and then, I like to read something lighter, and I thought I'd remembered enjoying the first Friday Night Knitting Club, but based on this experience and the reviews I've read for the first, I wonder if I had it mixed up with something else.


It's hard to pinpoint where this book went wrong, but I can tell you it completely implodes in the final chapters.
Unless you like your endings wrapped up in a completely unrealistic, maudlin, everyone'srelatedtoeveryone bow, this one will have you rolling your eyes so hard it hurts.


It's also difficult to know who to like or root for: the selfrighteous knowitall The selfish one who can't stand her own daughter and who abandons her ailing mother The young woman who thinks she knows better than everyone else The vain middleaged woman who can't survive without a man and whose major triumph in the novel isn't immediately bedding the latest one The other selfrighteous one who's always feeling sorry for herself The lawyer who starts smoking but whom we really don't know anything about, apart from her knitting skills or lack thereof

Oy vey.
Most of the book is a rambling slice of life, with part of it set in Italy for some reason and then the saccharine ending.
Not really sure what story Jacobs wanted to tell, but whatever it was, it didn't resonate with me.
Maybe diehard knitters would get more out of it,

This genrecall it chicklit or women's fictionseems the most difficult to do well, Knit Two is the second book in the Friday Night Knitting Club series, While none of these books are high art, they're wellwritten and interesting, I love

following the lives of women who don't always know what the next best step is, but are willing to take a step, even if it's scary, to move forward.
Plus, I love that the story takes place in Manhattan and revolves around a store opened by a woman who took a leap of faith that such a risky adventure would work.
Having lived in Manhattan and having always wanted to own a book store, I can relate,

The only time I ever knitted was when I was eight and, surprisingly, my parents sent me to a churchsponsored camp for part of a summer.
I didn't learn much about knitting because the camp only lasted a few weeks and knitting was but one of the skills/hobbies taught us.
But I do remember wishing then, and later on, that I knew more about knitting, While I do remember which way the needles are supposed to be turned when performing a "knit" vs a "purl", this will not an afghan make.
Maybe one day, I will find the time to "relearn" how to knit, and in the interim, I look forward to reading the third book in this series, Knit a Season.

Dear Reader,

I am not sure that I would have read this book had it not been available as a free audiobook through my library's Overdrive subscription.
I often stumble across books there and will pick up ones that I might not otherwise read, which is sometimes a great thing.
I chose this one only because I had read the first book in the series, years ago right around when it first came out, because someone my sister gave it to me as a gift.
I thought it was all right, but pretty indistinguishable from all of the "knitting circle" books that came out around that time: chick lit, about women who bond over knitting.
I thought this was an interesting series, though, because not all of the women actually knit there was more to the story than that.
In fact, it was much more about the women's lives than their knitting, So I figured this sequel would be all right for a light summer read, And, it was! I enjoyed the easy prose and relatively simple story line,

I am still kind of recovering from the final part of the audiobooka knitting pattern and two recipes which followed the actual novel.
I couldn't believe that the narrator was reading "knit two, purl five, knit two, purl five, knit two, purl five, knit two, purl five," ad nauseam! Who in the world is going to sit there pausing their audiobook every few seconds to knit or purl, then pressing "play" again! So, that kind of threw me off when I was just beginning to consider this review.


I think I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if I remembered the story and characters better from the first novel I feel like there were a lot of references to the prequel which I have long since forgotten.
However, I think the book stands well enough on its own, as I was still able to understand what was going on.
I did like that the main characters are a range of ages, from eighteen to seventyeight, all struggling to figure out who they are.
It gave a sense of trueness to the book, However, it wouldn't have hurt to have added a male knitter into the story! I certainly know of several they're not mythical, haha.


Some well, one of the stories seemed a bit implausible, but at least the author gives a nod to its unbelievability is that a word.
And she explains it away as being a part of the magic that is the strong, female friendship that is formed over a knitting group.
This is something I've sort of experienced I still keep in contact with my lovely girls from my former Boston knitting group, and so I do feel that sometimes knitting can bring people together.
This book lent a bit too much saccharine dreaminess to the idea, but hey it's a knitting group novel, what do you expect

Overall, this was a fun summer novel.
Great to take up some time while I sat around and knit up a pair of wedding gloves for a friend, and a sweater for myself.


Happy reading and knitting!,

Another wonderful story told by Kate Jacobs, Knit Two is the second book in the Friday Night Knitting Club series, Fast Forward five years and the knitting club members are still continuing their weekly gettogethers minus Georgia who is terribly missed.
The members are still grieving the loss of Georgiayears after her death which seems reasonable to me, I quite enjoyed the fact that she remained a significant part of the story throughout the book.
Readers also learn more about the lives of each club member which was fantastic, I enjoyed every section of this book and loved how the members not only met at the knitting store but socialised outside of the knitting club.

Half of the club members flew to Italy so part of the book was set in Rome, it was a lovely change of scenery and made the story come alive to a greater extent.
Love Marco, a beautiful character, and hope to read more of him in Knit the Season,

After the unbelievably sad ending of the first novel I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this story, well, it exceeded my expectations, I absolutely loved it and maybe a tad more than the first book.
I found the storyline to be believable and the characters well developed, Each one had a definite personality, The change in Dakota was refreshing, she became a lovely independent young woman, At first I wasn't too keen on Catherine but I ended up loving her story, And Anita's hidden secret was fascinating, I even adored Rosie but sad about her condition, Many minor characters in the book also made the story interesting,

Looking forward to reading Knit the Season, .
