Book Description:
There's a little yarn shop on Blossom Street in Seattle. It's owned by Lydia Hoffman, and it represents her dream of a new life free from cancer. A life that offers a chance at love...Members who requested this book also requested:
Lydia teaches knitting to beginners, and the first class is "How to Make a Baby Blanket." Three women join. Jacqueline Donovan wants to knit something for her grandchild as a gesture of reconciliation with her daughter-in-law. Carol Girard feels that the baby blanket is a message of hope as she makes a final attempt to conceive. And Alix Townsend is knitting her blanket for a court-ordered community service project.
These four very different women, brought together by an age-old craft, make unexpected discoveries -- about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to friendship and more...

This book is not something you read if you're looking for a deep, intellectual book. The characters are a bit predictable and one-dimensional, but this book was a fun read.

Not nearly enough knitting. :)
I liked it over all and the characters were all very different from one another and interesting but there seemed to be a lot of small plot holes -not big enough to really affect the stories but big enough to annoy the reader. I read it aloud to my mom and sister on a long car trip and they felt the same. The way the book was written was strange in places, as if it wasn't intended originally to be just one book. The stories were good and I remained interested in the women's lives though. Overall, I'm quite glad I requested it.

This is a wonderful story of four women's very different lives and how a simple knitting class brings them together. There were definitely some tearful moments in this book, as well as some laugh-out-loud moments. Each of the characters brings something completely unique to the table and you can't help but silently root for all of them as the story plays out, and their lives become more intertwined.

One of those heart-warming books that draws you into the lives of the characters and makes you want to cheer them on. Have the hankies ready!! I can't wait to read the sequel...

Lynda Hoffman is a cancer survivor, and new shop owner of A Good Yarn, a knitting store located in Seattle. This is the story of 4 women, each completely different from the other, but come to find themselves friends after meeting in a knitting class. Although not my style of book (a little too feel good), I thought it was a great read and will continue with the series.

Zanna B. (Loved this book. Just about to start the second one in the series. I could relate to several of the characters on different levels.
I really enjoyed this book, it was hard to put down.
Brooke G. (Cozy, cozy, cozy... makes you want to take up knitting. I am a crocheter, and this book was great fun, but I never could learn to knit. I wish the shop on Blossom Street was right next door to me.
This book was such a heartwarmer!
WARNING: No sex in this book! hehe
This was a pretty decent book, if not "par for the course" for Debbie Macomber. If you like her style and her previous books you are bound to like this one as well.
Cathy C. from NEGAUNEE, MI wrote on 2/15/2008...Very enjoyable, whether you knit or not. I definately plan to read the rest of the series. If you do knit there are some nice knitting references. The 4 main characters are all so different and yet it's nice to see relationships form through their knitting class.
Kelly Z. from SAN JOSE, CA wrote on 10/29/2007...Great book! I couldn't WAIT to get my hands on the second! It's a great book for knitters and non knitters alike and it's definately a GREAT read! Includes a pattern for a knitted baby blanket that looks lovely. I looked at the pics on her site and cant wait to start knitting one for my son!
Loved the people you become involved with. Gives hope to those that read this story. I have just started reading Macomber and I have not found a book I did not like. All of them are great.
Dee P. from PORTLAND, OR wrote on 7/30/2007...The first of Debbie Macomber's popular series, set in a knitting shop in Seattle. If you like to knit, and like a good, homey story, you'll love these books!
