The Sequel to the Beloved #1 New York Times
Bestseller The Friday Night Knitting Club
The sequel to the number-one New York
Times bestseller The Friday Night Knitting Club,
KNIT TWO returns to Walker and Daughter, the Manhattan
knitting store founded by Georgia Walker and her young
daughter, Dakota. Dakota is now an eighteen-year-old
freshman at NYU, running the little yarn shop part-time
with help from the members of the Friday Night Knitting
Club.
Drawn together by the sense of family the
club has created, the knitters rely on one another as they
struggle with new challenges: for Catherine, finding love
after divorce; for Darwin, the hope for a family; for
Lucie, being both a single mom and a caregiver for her
elderly mother; and for seventysomething Anita, a proposal
of marriage from her sweetheart, Marty, that provokes the
objections of her grown children.
As the club’s
projects—an afghan, baby booties, a wedding coat—are
pieced together, so is their understanding of the patterns
underlying the stresses and joys of being mother, wife,
daughter, and friend. Because it isn’t the difficulty of
the garment that makes you a great knitter: it’s the care
and attention you bring to the craft—as well as how you
adapt to surprises.
