Why I enjoyed The Shop on Blossom Street
This is the first book in an amazing series that combines two of my favorite things: Romance and Knitting. The story revolves around four women whose paths cross in a little yarn shop in Seattle, Washington. It is run by Lydia Hoffman, a cancer survivor who has dreamed of owning a yarn shop. To bring in business, she starts offering knitting classes and three very diverse women join the first class:
Jacqueline Donovan - who wants to make something for her grandchild as a gesture of reconciliation with her daughter-in law
Carol Girard - who wants to make a baby blanket as a message of hope as she tries to conceive
Alix Townsend - a troubled youth making a blanket as part of a court-ordered community service project.
These four women come together and support each other through highs and lows, happy times and sad times. Their stories will continue through the other books of The Knitting Book series.
Each book includes the knitting patterns for the items being created during the book - so knitters get a bonus!

The best line ever:
The yarn forms the stitches, the knitting forges the friendships, the craft links the generations.
