The New York Times bestselling sensation that’s “Steel Magnolias set in Manhattan” (USA Today)

Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projects—and share the stories of their lives…

Walker & Daughter is Georgia Walker’s little yarn shop, tucked into a quiet storefront on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Its Friday night knitting club is improvised by some of Georgia’s regulars, who stroll into the shop looking for tips on knitting and end up finding much, much more. So now, once a week, they gather to work on their latest projects and to chat—and occasionally clash—over their stories of love, life, and everything in between.

However, unexpected changes soon throw these women’s lives into disarray, and the shop’s comfortable world gets shaken up like a snow globe. When the unthinkable happens, they realize that what they’ve created is not just a knitting club—it’s a sisterhood.

Loved it through and through. I work in a knitting store myself. And it was so relatable and inspiring.

It was a bit of a slow start, but I’m so glad I didn’t let that stop me. Ended totally different than I expected.

Great book!

this was a good listen. I love an author who is willing to make the difficult choice instead of the easy happy ever after fairy tale ending.

not what I expected

What did you love best about The Friday Night Knitting Club?

This was a nice story. Everyone loves everyone (a bit much for me), but it was a nice simple read. I liked this book but not enough to listen to the next in the series.

NIce story, simple book
