Contemporary Chick Lit

The heart-warming sequel to BEACH STREET KNITTING SOCIETY AND YARN CLUB that knits together the feel-good factor of Marian Keyes, the humour of Jilly Cooper and the heart of Katie Fforde.

Slip one …
A year after her husband’s death, Jo Mackenzie is finally starting to get the hang of being a single parent.

Knit two together …
The boys are thriving in their new seaside home, the wool shop is starting to do well and despite two weddings, an in-school knitting project and Trevor the Wonder Dog coming to stay, she’s just about keeping her head above water.

Cast off …

But boys, babies and best friends certainly make life a lot more interesting. Can Jo cope when things get really complicated? Because if knitting truly does keep you sane when your life starts to unravel then it looks like Jo is going to need much bigger needles.
