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... 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.

The Shop on Blossom Street books tells the story of a young woman and cancer survivor who opens a knitting store offering knitting classes to attract customers, three women come to the shop to learn how to make a baby blanket. As readers watch three women learn the stitches, watch their baby blankets take shape, and find themselves learning more about each other, helping each other with their projects and influencing each other's lives. By the end of the book we find them forming lasting friendships and we know we won't soon forget these knitters.
A great read, very enjoyable.

I have always been curious about Debbie Macomber's books, but just started
reading them recently. The Shop on Blossom Street is wonderful. You feel like
you are there and all the characters are your own personal friends. Can't wait
to read more.
I forgot I had this book and I tried to read it and never finished. I think I stopped in the same spot in this book I will try again. I have read Debbie Macomber books before and enjoyed them. I don't know why I can't get into this book.
This is a nice little book but Debbie Macomber has written better. Good for a rainy afternoon but not exceptional.
I loved this book so much I couldn't wait to order books 2 & 3 to continue the series. I think I am going to be sad when I finish the last one. The way Debbie Macomber weaves the lives of 4 women together is done so well I could hardly put the book down. I found myself drawn in as if I actually knew these women. I almost wanted to join a knitting class just to find similar friendships.
A really enjoyable read with some plot twists. I thought I had some things figured out about halfway through, and it turns out I was wrong.
Very good and entertaining. Light reading for relaxation and enjoyment.
The first Debbie Macomber book I ever read. It was very enjoyable, and now has me hooked on the rest of her books.
