Knit Two

By: Kate Jacobs

Narrated by: Carrington MacDuffie

Length: 10 hrs and 44 mins

Publisher's summary

Following the beloved number-one New York Times best seller The Friday Night Knitting Club is this charming story of sisterhood.

At the Manhattan knitting store founded by Georgia Walker, the members of the Friday Night Knitting Club - including Georgia’s college-age daughter, Dakota - rely on each other for help, even as they struggle with new challenges: for Catherine, finding love after divorce; for Darwin, the hope for a family; for Lucie, being both a single mom and a caregiver for her elderly mother; and for 70-something Anita, a proposal of marriage from her sweetheart, Marty, that provokes the objections of her grown children.

As the club’s projects - an afghan, baby booties, a wedding coat - are pieced together, so is their understanding of the patterns underlying the stresses and joys of being a mother, wife, daughter, and friend. Because it isn’t the difficulty of the garment that makes you a great knitter: It’s the care and attention you bring to the craft, as well as how you adapt to surprises....

Loved It

Better than the first one! If you read Friday Night Knitting Club you must read this. You'll love it!

I love this series!

I really enjoyed listening to this book, the narrator was just fine did good on the different voices, not too drastic. I like it that way more like I'm reading it to myself lol.

Loved it

Perfect follow up to the first book. Amazing character growth. Would recommend to many knitters.

nice predictable continuation of the story

been waiting years to read this one and now I am satisfied that it's off my to read list.

Enjoyable but not as great as the first

I did enjoy this read and I don't regret purchasing it but there were a few plot and audio issues that I had. First, it became VERY annoying to listen throughout 75% of this book how everyone relied so much on Georgia and how their life had ceased to be anything without her even 5 years later. It was very unrealistic. Yes, she was a great character but for people to be this crippled?! The plot was just too overdramatized.

I was also throughly disturbed at the change in voice for Perry. In the first book she had a French accent and was presented as very European, this book, she has a southern accent and you discover she's black?!

There was less knitting in this book but there were some patterns offered at the end. The author was trying to delve deeper, I guess, with these characters and less about what the first book was based on, knitting. It was a good continuation but I was a little let down by the tone and movement of this book.

Review of Knit Two

Excellent sequel to the Friday Night Knitting Club with some of the same great characters, but overall I didn’t like it as well as the Friday Night Knitting club.

This Sequal Is Touching

I really enjoyed the Friday Night Knitting Club. I found Knit Two really touching. Yes, this is a sequal and yes, things are wrapped nicely here. But it is also an excellent story of mourning and moving forward after a major loss. Georgia is missed by everyone, including me, but she's alive in spirit. You feel her in how she profoundly affected each and every character.

This story touched me especially since I've recently lost someone very important in my life. It has comforted me in my mourning process.

May it do similarly for you.

not so predictable sequel

I very much enjoyed the sequel probably more so than The Friday Night Knitting Club because I had the ending ruined by reading a review on here! Anyway, on a picky note I was bothered that Peri's voice was different in this recording. She sounded very much like James and she kept Dakota's voice so very whiny but these are not the author's fault. I enjoyed that everything was wrapped up but it seemed very much like it was a checklist about what happened to everyone. Overall I enjoyed it though. I am not too picky about books as long as they are believable and keep my attention. I missed Georgia as much as the characters did!

Very Entertaining

Very sweet book, very wholesome and entertaining. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Hope to see more of these on Audible.com.

Delightful Read...

Delightful read for non-knitters and knitters alike. Balanced combination of humor and tragedy to make for an interesting story.
