Four lives knit together...

There's a little yarn store in Seattle called A Good Yarn. It's owned by Lydia Hoffman, and it represents her dream of a new beginning, a life free from cancer. A life that offers a chance at love...

Lydia teaches knitting to beginners, and the first class is How to Make a Baby Blanket. Three women join. Jacqueline Donovan disapproves of the woman married to her only son, but knitting a baby blanket would be a gesture of reconciliation.

For Carol Girard, the baby blanket brings a message of hope as she and her husband make a final attempt to conceive.

And tough-looking Alix Townsend (that's Alix with an i) is learning to knit her blanket for a court-ordered community service project.

These four very different women, brought together by the age-old craft of knitting, make unexpected discoveries--about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to friendship and acceptance, to laughter and dreams. Discoveries only women can share...

First of the Blossom Street series from Macomber. These are not exactly taxing books, and this is the running of the new Yarn shop on Blosson Street, which is undergoing a rebuild and investment.

Lydia is recovering from Cancer, and is suffering from loss - of her father, her confidence etc. She starts a knitting class, and starts to make friends, with her customers, her sister and the local delivery man.

These are a little formulaic, and are best read as "fluff" books that are not very challenging, but a pleasant way to spend a day or so. It sets up the Blossom Street story community, which Macomber has successfully spread into several different communities ( )

This is a nice little story about a group of women who meet when a new yarn shop opens. ( )

Yes, this is the book you think of when you think about a knitter's group. While I'm not always into the adult woman problems and warm fuzzies type of books, I enjoyed this book. The womens' stories kept my attention. The book certainly made me wish I had a knitting/crochet group to join. I will be keeping my eye out to read the rest in the series. ( )

Gender stereotypes, ahoy! Seriously, I think if you can turn off the part of your brain that goes "well, not all women would want that.." I think it would be enjoyable enough of a read, but I just couldn't. ( )

This is the story of four women: Lydia, a cancer survivor who opens a yarn store, and her first three customers/students, Jacqueline, a society matron, Carol, a business woman trying to get pregnant, and wild-child Alix. The book takes us through their lives and how being in a knitting group together changes them.

This was, by far, the most predictable, formulaic book I've ever read. As soon as every woman's story, and those of supporting characters, was laid out, I knew exactly what was going to happen with each main character, and, sadly, I was right.

It's a fine story if you're looking for a comfortable, female-centric feel-good novel. But don't come to this looking for any depth. It's very simply a light, happily-ever-after.

As a yarn-crafter, and member of my own crafting group, I wanted to love this book. I'm a little sad that I didn't. ( )

The religious overtones of Macomber's novel may throw some readers, but the author should attract her usual sizeable readership and pick up some fans of Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilts series.
