This is the sequel to "The Friday Night Knitting Club." The story picks up about five years later and shows how the lives of the Club members have changed, but how they are still on their journeys to becoming their best selves. Most of them have to reconcile with things/ people in their past in order to move on (more than one character still is grieving Georgia's death), a few characters are dealing with changes in their families/ family dynamics, and a few characters are dealing with career issues. Some characters are dealing with all of these things! While I did enjoy reading this book and was excited to see what would happen next, it didn't have all of the magic of the first book. It's been a while since I read the first book, but that one seemed to be more even in its treatment of each woman and had one main focus character. "Knit Two" doesn't have the main focus character and feels like it short-changes some of the characters. About half the Club takes off for Italy for various adventures while the rest stay in NYC and the NYC group, KC and Peri in particular, really seems to get the short end of the stick by not getting as much "face time" with the readers. Still, if you enjoyed "The Friday Night Knitting Club," then you will like reading "Knit Two" to see what happens to everyone.
