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.

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!

It was fun catching up with Lydia and meeting her new friends. But, having read The Shop on Blossom St only a couple weeks ago I found A Good Yarn too repetative i.e. recapping what happened in the first book and not enough new stuff in the second. I suppose if I'd read them when they first came out, having to wait a whole year between reads, that might be different.

I like the knitting pattern's at the front of the book. although I just finished a pair of socks before I read this book.
It's interesting to see how each character is developed and become friends. Although I liked the characters in book one (The Shop on Blossom Street) better. And I am looking forward to reading Back on Blossom Street next. However, I am going to put some time between A Good Yarn and Back on Blossom Street. I think it might make the characters more interesting.

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.

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.

I loved this book and the whole series. If you are crafty and like to be with other creative people, just read this book. It makes you feel like you are there with them. When women get together and share feelings and tell what happens in there lives, who needs therapists! This reminds me of my friends when we get together to quilt.

Debbie Macomber's sequel to "The Shop on Blossom Street" is just as enjoyable as the first. Here Lydia has a new class (socks) and 3 interesting new multi-generational students. As before the book move thru each chapter focused on a different person, but they all combine to a very heartwarming finish of love and long lasting freindships.
Debbie's books are always a great read and hard to put down.

Lydia is back again and teaching a sock knitting class. She has 3 new students just as different as her first class. Courtney is a teen who just moved to Seattle to live with her grandma, Bethanne recently learned her husband has been having an affair and is getting a divorce, and Elise is a grandmother who recently moved in with her daughter after a bad financial decision. Together they find they have more in common than they thought and forge a strong bond while knitting. A great follow up to the Shop on Blossom Street.

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...

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!

Once again Debbie Macomber wove the stories of the three ladies in her knitting class and herself together into a good story. I like the way she gets the reader involved with the lives of her characters and makes them each so likable. It makes you want to take knitting classes. I also like the way she ties up all the loose ends of each of their stories at the end of the book. It allows the reader to feel good and not worry about what happened to your newly acquired friends.

I found the characters to be quite interesting and real. The way she had the chapters change to the telling of one of the four main characters went quite smoothly. What made it interesting in this style is that though the chapters might be dedicated to a particular character, it was the same story just in parallel of what the other characters are doing at the time

Following on the success of The Shop on Blossom Street (2005), Macomber offers another tale of women meeting and becoming good friends in a knitting class. When Lydia Hoffman, owner of A Good Yarn, offers a class in knitting socks, Elise Beaumont, a self--contained and efficient divorced woman in her sixties, appears. Embroiled in a lawsuit, she has little patience with the foibles of others. Meanwhile, Bethanne Hamlin's husband left her for another woman on Valentine's Day. Bethanne's spent her life making a good home for her family, and now, bereft of self-esteem and support, she has to find a job. And, finally, there's Courtney Pulanski, who's come to live with her grandmother for her senior year of high school. After her mother's death four years ago, Courtney went a little wild and stuffed all her emotions down with food; now she's alone, overweight, and unhappy. But soon an unbreakable bond is formed among the knitters in this sweet and poignant story of real women with real problems becoming real friends.

With a sequel to "The Shop on Blossom Street" Debbie Macomber continues to weave together the lives of women from every walk of life who become part of the fabric of each other's lives. With characters who are real, situations that are familiar, she continues to let us glimpse the possibilities of friendship and mutual support. We are all connected, we all affect one another. I see it now more clearly in my own life. And maybe I'll take up knitting again.......

I thought it would be hard for the author to come even close to the first book in the series, Shop on Blossom Street. Although the first chapter was a small review of Shop on Blossom street, many of the characters are new in this book. I found it just as good as Shop on Blossom Street! After the first couple of chapters, the author grabs your attention and holds it til the end. A Good Yarn is full of surprises and emotion that many can relate too. I highly recommend this book and can't wait to read the next book in the series.

This book had me wanting more more more! I read the first one and no sooner had I closed the cover did this one appear at my door from the mailman. I read this one even more quickly than I read the first. It was a lovely read and, like the first, includes a knitting pattern. This one for socks. I highly recommend this book to anyone, not just knitters. It touches the soul and makes you feel incredibly lucky because you're life doesn't have nearly as much drama and heartache as the women in this book sometimes feel.

A Good Yarn is the second in this series by Debbie Macomber. This series is told from different women's points of view. Lydia is always in the books because she is the shop owner. I know nothing about knitting and was concerned about reading a book about a yarn shop. It brings the story to life without confusing you with a lot of knitting. It is a good read and brings old friends back from The Shop on Blossom Street (book 1).

Lydia Hoffman owns the shop on Blossom Street. Since it has 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. Elise Beaumont retired and bitterly divorced, learns learns that her onetime husband is reentering her life. Bethanne Hamlin is facing the fallout from a much more recent divorce. Courtney Pulanskiis a depressed and overwieght teenager whose grandmother's idea of helping her is to drag her to senior's swim sessions and to the knitting class at A Good Yarn.

If you read The Shop on Blossom Street, you'll enjoy this sequel.

I have just finished this book which is the second in a series. It is from a heartfelt perspective and tells the story of realities of life for women who find community, as well as healing,in a knitting class. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series and hope that you might start on that journey as well. Happy Reading!!!

When we last left Lydia Hoffman, she had just opened her knitting shop - A Good Yarn - on Blossom Street in downtown Seattle. This was her way of celebrating her cancer remission and she offered various knitting classes to those who wanted to learn such a skill. Well, in the year since A Good Yarn first opened, the little shop has thrived - and so has Lydia. This is due in no small part to Lydia's deep friendships with her first three students - Jacqueline Donovan, Carol Girard and Alix Townsend - and her close relationship with Brad Goetz.

But when Brad's ex-wife suddenly reappears in his life, Lydia is not really sure what to do. She only knows that she loves Brad's son, Cody, very much and that she's beginning to fall in love with his father as well. Lydia is suddenly terribly afraid and unable to fully trust her new found happiness.

Elise Beaumont, a retired librarian, joins one of Lydia's popular knitting classes. Since losing her life savings, Elise has been living with her daughter, Aurora - the only positive legacy from her brief but tumultuous marriage to professional gambler, Marvin 'Maverick' Beaumont. Now she learns that her onetime husband plans to visit, and that Aurora wants a relationship with her father, regardless of Elise's feelings about him or the present situation.

Bethanne Hamlin, like Elise, is facing the fallout from a divorce. However her husband, Grant, left her for another woman - not a deck of cards - and she's still struggling to rebuild and completely reshape her life. She joins the knitting class at her children's urging; determined that this will be her first step in her effort to recover a sense of dignity and hope. Then Bethanne starts her own small business and also meets a man with whom she has something remarkably surprising in common!

Courtney Pulanski is a seriously depressed and overweight teenager. Since her mother's death, she has been staying with her grandmother Vera. Vera is doing her best, trying to help Courtney...help that takes the form of dragging her reluctant granddaughter around to swimming sessions at the local Seniors' Center - and to the knitting class at A Good Yarn. Like so many women, these four find companionship and comfort with each other and in the age-old craft of knitting. Who knew that knitting socks could completely change someone's life?

I must say that I certainly enjoyed reading this book; the story was well-written and very poignant and sentimental. However, while the story was very good, and I'm glad to have read it; I will say that it was just the slightest bit too sugary sweet for my taste. I give A Good Yarn by Debbie Macomber an A! I will definitely read more books in the Blossom Street Series - or perhaps another book by Debbie Macomber - at some point in the future, but I think that I will wait for a while.

To me, Debbie Macomber's books are hit and miss whether I like them or not. Some are just too sugary sweet for my taste, but this one was a pretty good read and especially b/c it continues a story I already know. This is the sequel to The Shop on Blossom Street (which was also an excellent book!).

Spoilers included:

I just finished "The Shop on Blossom Street" and I found this book too much alike. It was almost the same ladies just with slightly different names. She also reuses some of the names I think so if it has been a while since you have read the first book, keep in mind that she is not talking about the same people in some instances.

I was also disappointed with some of the endings. Lydia and Brad seemed to reconciled a little too easily for my taste. For somebody with issues of being left behind by her lovers, Lydia sure was understanding towards Brad's decisions. And Brad was really kind of a jerk about the whole thing. He didn't really deserve Lydia in my book. He definitely needed to do some grovelling because despite his good intention toward his son, he did Lydia wrong.

I enjoyed Elise's story in the beginning but I found the end really distasteful. So since her ex is dying and is rich, now she can really accept him for who he is?

Out of all the stories I think I liked Bethanne the most because like it said in the end, she completely reinvented herself. This character was most realistic and different from the characters in the first book. I also love how her relationship with Paul turned out. I think out of the four women, she became the strongest character.

Courtney's story was sweet but a little too much like "Grease" for my taste. I liked the relationship she develops with Annie more than anything. The ending to her story was pretty good, more realistic than romantic. I am curious to know if these three will show up in future books. I wonder why Macomber developed her story with Andrew so slowly. It seemed like there were some good material and drama that could have come out of her relationship with Andrew if it happened earlier.

Overall, it was a fast read but just okay. I think the stories were a little too forced, like Macomber felt like she needed to do a sequel but lacked ideas. I will continue to read the series for now and see if it gets better.

I really liked this book. It's a nice story and so good that I couldn't put it down. Now I want to read the rest of the books in this series.

Loved it! Just as good as the first one, The Shop on Blossom Street!

Haven't read it - picked it up because I was pretty sure it was on somebody's wish list.
