I was very disappointed with this book, maybe I had too high of expectations. It reached a point of being very predicatable and I lost all interest. I also got really sick of Georgia calling her daughter her little muffin girl--the term was used way too much. I did have Knit 2 on my WL but I cancelled it after finishing this one.

Rarely does a book coax tears from me... but this one did. Great story, interesting characters - esp loved Gran. Despite making me cry, it was a good ending. Looking forward to reading the second one to see where the characters go from here.

I was a tad disappointed with this book. I felt that it moved too slowly. It just didnt have that spark that left me not wanting to put it down. I did enjoy it though, just not as much as I thought I would.

I enjoyed this book about friendship and love. I especially liked the relationship between the main character, Georgia, and her daughter, Dakota. I will try to get the next book in the series called Knit Two. Want to see what happens when Dakota grows up!

Though the story is easy and fun to follow, I found this book predictable and a little okay already get on with it. The way the book ended was disappointing, it was kind of like the author got sick of writing so decided to end the book.

Quick read. You become part of the group of the knitting club and involved in each characters story. I love the fact that it shows that how strong women and friendship are.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Gift copy!
Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projectsâand share the stories of their lives...

At the center of Walker and Daughter is the shop's owner, Georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. Happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her Friday Night Knitting Club, where she and her friendsâAnita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie, and KCâexchange knitting tips, jokes, and their deepest secrets. But when the man who once broke Georgia's heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughter's life, her world is shattered.

Luckily, Georgia's friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle-making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they've created isn't just a knitting club: it's a sisterhood.
