This is no Friday Night Knitting Club. Thankfully the book is short and a quick read. It is just odd and the characters are not loveable. In terms of "rooting" for the characters, I found myself "rooting" for the book to end.

A lovely story with quirky characters. Great for a rainy day read. There is some knitting terminology throughout the story, but even non-knitters should find this story quite enjoyable. So beautifully written that it's difficult to believe this is Barlett's first book.

Knitters and non-knitters alike will enjoy this look into the lives of women helping each other. Bartlett explores the spiritual and emotional lives of the characters using knitting as a metaphor for the problems and joys we all face in life.

Delightful story about knitting, and about how very different people can become friends. Sandra is an uptight professor who must always be in control. By unusual circumstance, she meets Martha, who is a talented knitter. Although their lives are so very different, they become friends and work on a knitting exhibit.
No spoilers, but all is not going smoothly and Martha unravels. Sandra learns to let go of some control and learns a lot about herself from her quirky friend.
An overall feel-good book, easy reading. I hope Ms. Bartlett treats us to more of her enjoyable storytelling.

Entertaining read. A good effort by Anne. Any knitter/crafter will appreciate the variety of projects worked by one of the main characters. I would recommend. Light reading, but also crafted well.

This book was a sweet, easy-read kind of book. The story is set in Australia and tells the tale of two ladies who meet quite by chance and the relationship that develops from there. I enjoyed the simple and direct style of the story and the author's ability to make me "see" the characters and their personalities.
