Book Description:
Please join me at A Good Yarn! It's a wonderful little knitting shop in downtown Seattle -- a place of welcome and warmth, of friends old and new. Come and discover how knitting a pair of socks can change your life! Debbie Macomber Lydia Hoffman owns the shop on Blossom Street. In the year since it opened, A Good Yarn has thrived -- and so has Lydia. A lot of that is due to Brad Goetz. But when Brad's ex-wife reappears, Lydia is suddenly afraid to trust her newfound happiness. Three women join Lydia's newest class. Elisa Beaumont, retired and bitterly divorced, learns that her onetime husband is reentering her life. Bethanne Hamlin is facing the fallout from a much more recent divorce. And Courtney Pulanski is a depressed and overweight teenager, whose grandmother's idea of helping her is to drag her to seniors' swim sessions -- and to the knitting class at A Good Yarn.

I wish PBS had a feature that would reach out and slap me if I ever request another Macomber book. I know good and well that I read a good one of hers one time, but that must have been a fluke. Or someone else wrote it for her...

OK, everybody who loves Debbie Macomber wave your hands------STOP! The wind is blowing the rest of the world away! This is a fitting follow up to The Shop on Blossom Street. Debbie writes characters you can get to know and wrap your brain around. What's next for Lydia and Brad - can't wait to find out! And who does the illustrations for her book covers? I want to live there!

I love Debbie Macomber, she makes her charcters real, I know people like this and see myself in many of them. This knitting club is a pleasure. She proves to us that people do not have to be alike to appreciate each other.

I enjoyd this book. Made for a nice warm read. Kind of book where you make your cup of tea or coffee, snuggle in the bed or couch with a blanket, and just ENJOY and relax.

Debbie Macomber at her best. I thoroughly enjoyed book 2 of this new series. I think it is one of her very best. The characters draw you in to the story....you feel like you are sitting right in the Yarn Shop with them...and you care about the characters. I was not a romance fan...this was a recommendation from a friend and I am so glad...thoroughly enjoyed this book and the the 3rd is even better.

I really enjoyed this book! I'm not usually into crafter's cozies, but this was really well written with well developed characters. It also included a nice knitted baby blanket pattern.

The second in the series and we learn more about what is going on with the people in the first book and meet a new group of knitters who seemingly have nothing at all in common. Of course they become good friends and change each others lives for the better.

Wonderful sequel that intertwines the original characters of her first "Blossom Street" Series book in with a few new characters. What's nice is, if you didn't get the chance to read book 1 in the series you won't be lost with book 2. I find this a plus when reading a "series" books, just in case you can't find book 1 quick enough or whatever.
Great chick lit! Debbie Macomber is categorized as a "romance" writer but the Blossom Street series is really not what I would categorize as "romance" itself. It's more chick lit, featuring friendships and turmoils, loves & tragedies of a group of friends who happen to unite under the roof of a yarn shop.
Excellent book!
If you need to feel good;read this book. It left me feeling warm and wanting to make friends with people who I would not immediatly think I could be friends with. After all is said and done we are more alike than different.
This is the second book in a series, and I just love them !! And all of Debbie's books for that matter ! I have been knitting and crocheting for 50 years ( having learned from my grandmother at a yound age !! ) and find it such a joy !! I relate to so much in her books and love the people she has in them !! I am also teaching my two granddaughter ( ages 10 and 8 to knit !! )
Debbie Macomber has a wonderful, easy style of writing. Her stories seem like real life in written form. This book is an excellent sequel to the first Blossom Street story.
Patti I. (Another great Debbie Macomber book. She updates on the 'original' characters and introduces more. I had a hard time putting this down. I am not a knitter and I enjoyed it a lot. If you are a knitter, just a bonus - you get a pattern. =)
This is a book that is well worth the read. Once I got started reading it, I couldn't put it down.
LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street books always leave you wanting more.... thoroughly enjoyed this!!!!
