Never has a book driven me to want to learn to knit yet again! I never quite understood even the simplest instructions and been able to come away with anything other then a knotted mess. Yet, I felt the pang again reading the sequel to The Friday Night Knit Club called Knit Two.
The ringleader of the group Georgia’s death which came at the end of the previous title is picked up five years later with everyone five years older, maybe a little wiser, but still leaning on each other for support.
Dakota is now eighteen and a freshman at NYU studying communications. The choice in major, however, is due to parental pressure from her dad James. What Dakota really wants to go to school for is baking. That little girl who at twelve was making goodies for club members now wants to be a professional. If only she could convince her father that this career would be a success for her.
Darwin just had twins! She prepared herself to the hilt with charts, graphs, research and tons of information. What she begins to realize though after taking them home from the hospital is that the books can only go so far. Will she ever find the mothers intuition within?
Lucy is now a famous video producer. Thanks to some rave reviews of the video she made about Georgia and the knitting club, she now gets regular jobs to do what she loves. Trouble is with a full schedule and now five year old daughters to be mindful of things are more then a little bit stressful. Add to that her mothers declining mental health like forgetting where she lives or leaving a faucet on and forgetting about it…
Let us not forget Anita, who has decided to take the plunge and marry Marty, the man she met in the first book. There is one event though in her past that haunts her so much, however, that she doesn’t feel it would be right to marry until it is resolved.
I enjoyed this book, it continued from the first rather seamlessly leaving no stone unturned. Kate has once again made us for in love all over with these NY knitters. Showing us that life is not so much how you live, but the company you keep.
