KnitTwo

I finished "Knit Two" by Kate Jacobs. At first I wasn't able to get into the book but then after remembering the characters and getting them back in perspective, things were looking up. In the first book ("Friday Night Knitting Club"), the main character was Georgia Walker who founded and ran the Walker and Daughter yarn shop. Friendships were developed at their Friday night meetings and at the end of the book, Georgia died from ovarian cancer. "Knit Two" picked up with the rest of the characters, including Georgia's daughter Dakota, and where their lives are now after 5 years without Georgia's influence. She may be dead but her influence continued on. The daughter is now a freshman in college and her father who had not been a part of her early life is now trying to get her to be more than what she desires and that is to build a career around her pastry baking abilities. The other friends have also changed. One is the mother of twins and a professor, one is now a lawyer instead of a publisher, one is directing music videos, one is running the yarn shop and creating her own designs in bags, and the eldest is going to remarry after being a widow for many years. All the stories are woven together like one of Georgia's afghans. Makes me want to get out the knitting needles and make an afghan but I already have tons in the closet.
