Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projects - and share the stories of their lives... At the center of Walker and Daughter is the shop's owner, Georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. Happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her Friday Night Knitting Club, where she and her friends - Anita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie, and K.C. - exchange knitting tips, jokes, and their deepest secrets. But when the man who once broke Georgia's heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughter's life, her world is shattered. Luckily, Georgia's friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle making.

I probably would never have picked this book up if not for one of my in-town friends (thanks, Pat) who brought it over one day and suggested I read it. Im not a knitter and know very little about it, but that didnt hinder my enjoyment of this story of womens friendships. The main character is Manhattan knitting shop owner Georgia Walker, single mother of 12-year-old Dakota. Over the course of the book a core group of 7 women plus Dakota forms the basis of the Friday Night Knitting Club thatI decided to read this book because it combined knitting and New York; two of my favorite things but this was disappointing.
post-read: so, now i'm finished. this book was basically chick-lit. i felt the story wasn't too shabby, but writing style/tone made me feel like i was reading a high schooler's creative writing assignment. SO prosaic and cliche. in another author's hands, it could have been much better. the ending, as jeni said, was surprising, and i think the author used it to separate it from its chick-lit sistren, but it didn't work. it did make me tear up a LITTLE, and i was entertained, and the characters
This book being about knitting, I thought it would be a bit warm and fuzzy. It definitely not what I was expecting. It was very good
I decided to read this book because it combined knitting and New York; two of my favorite things but this was disappointing.
I refuse to finish this book.Narrative Issues:I read most of it, but even then I had to force myself through the first half. The whole Dividing The Book Into Chapters About Knitting To Symbolize A Metaphor For Life seemed too cliche.The entire first half of the novel is told in fits & starts as the narrator gives us every single detail of background information in every character. Scenes went along the lines of:"X walked into the kitchen. She'd always loved the kitchen and spent many years
I'm sorry (why am I sorry? I guess because there's a part of me that feels guilty for completely dissing a book that someone has written. I mean, I've never written a book, so what do I know?), but this book was terrible. I'm not even sure why I finished it. I didn't even have high expectations for it--had already categorized it as chick-lit--but even still, I found every character completely stilted and unrealistic and the plot uninspired, dull, and predictable. This book will not make you want
