This was an ok book. The characters and plot were predictable. I was disappointed that there was actually very little knitting invovled. And instead of knitting patterns at the back of the book, there were alcoholic drink recipes with knit-ish names.

Shallow chick-lit with an obvious plot. Nothing particularly unique about it. An easy read, but not very rewarding.

At first I almost gave up and said it was too young for me. It turned out to be a good fast read. A little predictable, but it moved fast and held my interest.

I won't say that I thought this was a great book, because I'd be lying. But I thought it was ok.

I really liked the book until the end. And I'm all for neat tie-ups and everyone goes away happy but I just didn't see all the outcomes in this book as believable. I know it's fiction but the characters should still be believable, right? The writing style was good and it was easy to follow the dialogue. The character development was great! I think that all the characters were fairly well-rounded and their personalities were fine, until the end. The end could have been so much better and still given the same outcome. I felt like you get to the end of the book and the author needed to get the last bit in but only had so many pages to do it, so she cut it so it would fit.

Bad ending or not I think it was an ok book. I'm going to find something else of her's to read as I really did like her writing style. It was very easy to follow.

Predictable plot, stereotypical characters, not much knitting. The knitting seemed to be forced into the story. In spite of knowing exactly what would happen as soon as all the characters had been introduced, it was a fun read. It's like junk food...easily consumed, quickly digested, tastes good, but has zero nutritional value.
