KNIT THE SEASON by Kate Jacobs is the third book in the Friday Night Knitting Club series. When I read the first book I was quite content and didn't mind whether or not I got another book about these characters. However, when I read Knit Two I was in serious need of another installment in the series as I felt like too many loose ends were left dangling...you might say not properly cast off.
This book seems to do a good job of picking up the loose threads from Knit Two and properly completing the story. Dakota who must surely have suffered the most by losing her mother at such a young age is not the only member of the Friday Night Knitting Club trying to find herself, and move on while not letting the loss of their dear friend Georgia haunt them.
As each woman is faced with the challenges of life they can not help but reflect on their friendship with Georgia, and they try to impart some of the wisdom they learned from Georgia to Dakota, but whether or not Dakota will get the lessons in time remains to be seen.
I felt as though KNIT THE SEASON was a fitting end to The Friday Night Knitting Club series, and am undecided whether or not I would want to revisit these characters. Ms. Jacobs shows hints of each woman's life in the future, and I feel fairly content in letting my own imagination take them on.
While I like series, and like even more when books stand alone in case I end up reading out of order, I would suggest that KNIT THE SEASON not be read until you have at least read Knit Two, or it might be a tad confusing.
Another heartwarming Friday Night Knitting Club novel from
#1 New York Timesβbestselling author Kate Jacobs.
Knit the Season is a loving, moving, laugh-out-loud
celebration of special times with friends and family. The

her blissful time as a doting new mom.
From Thanksgiving
through Hanukkah and Christmas to New Yearβs, Knit the
Season is a story about the richness of family bonds and the
