Jacobs searched all kinds of issues, from knitting, to love, to race, to cancer. This showed how friends can be formed in crazy places, but they are friendships that will last. The friendships formed and the way they stuck together through everything was beautiful.

The attempts at knitting made me laugh, and made me realise how bad I would be if I tried, however, because of this book I do want to give knitting a go. I adored the Club and the people who came along. Georgia was a beautiful character strong, independent, reliable and a real role model, showing that women, especially single-mothers can make it big in life, can achieve what they want. I loved watching her grow up, search for her roots and I loved her passion for baking, one of my passions too! However, I did love all the characters. My favourite character was Georgia’s daughter Dakota I think. The Friday Night Knitting Club – don’t you want to join? These women are of different ages, from different backgrounds and facing different problems, but they are drawn together by threads of affection that prove as durable as the sweaters they knit. Finding a pattern! And as the needles clack, and the garments grow, the conversation moves on from patterns and yarn to life, love and everything. Here is the synopsis:Ĭasting on! It starts almost by accident: the women who buy their knitting needles and wool from Georgia’s store linger for advice, for a coffee, for a chat and before they know it, every Friday night is knitting night.

Jacobs turned out to be a great writer, and I will definitely be looking out for her work. I thoroughly enjoyed this book: The Friday Night Knitting Club. There is a strong story, great characters and a bit of knitting that made this a lovely, exciting read. However, it is too well written to be classed as that.

I picked this book to read as a quick, chick-lit book.
