Top Knitting Books


Knitting is not only a wonderful hobby, but also a subject rich in literature and wonderful reading.

As I learn more about the art, I learn more about the many great books that are out there.

One terrific list can be found on Knitting News Cast, a super site on knitting and full of great reference material.

My favorite book they recommend is The Friday Night Knitting Club.

The synopsis:
The New York Times bestselling sensation that's "Steel Magnolias set in Manhattan" (USA Today)-now in paperback.

Juggling the demands of her yarn shop and single-handedly raising a teenage daughter has made Georgia Walker grateful for her Friday Night Knitting Club. Her friends are happy to escape their lives too, even for just a few hours. But when Georgia's ex suddenly reappears, demanding a role in their daughter's life, her whole world is shattered.

Luckily, Georgia's friends are there, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they've created isn't just a knitting club: it's a sisterhood.
