Best knitting themed novel I've read

I saw this book in the store and was only attracted to it because it had to do with knitting. I didn't have high hopes for it at all because it was a Harlequin Book and I thought they were just "fluff". I was so wrong. The writing was great and the story kept my interest through the whole book. I loved all the characters and there was plenty about knitting. I can't recommend this highly enough. I will happily read more books by Connie Lane - and more Harlequin Next books.

A Surprising Delight!

I noticed this book at the grocery store while I was looking for the latest issue of a crochet magazine. I love reading all sorts of books about knitting and crochet, so picked it up. I was delightfully surprised in reading it. True, it is a light read and goes rather fast, but it held my interest all the way. The plot is fairly typical-wife gets dumped, has child, has to start again, has some mysterious past issues to ferret out and resolve, but along the way I enjoyed the characters, watching the knit store come together and take off, and it kept my interest right to the end. All in all, a nice book with which to pass a pleasant afternoon or evening.

interesting family drama

In Pittsburgh, Libby Cartwright learns she inherited "Barb's Knits" in Cleveland from her late mother, who abandoned her when she was a baby. She has no plans to reopen the store; instead encouraged by her forty years old husband and her teenage daughter Meghan she just wants to sell it and forget the last thread to her mother. However, Libby becomes outraged when she learns her spouse plans to divorce her to marry his pregnant girlfriend. Over the objection of her daughter, Libby divorces her cheating husband and moves to the loft over the knit shop. Deciding to make a go at it, she reopens Barb's Knits as Metropolitan Knits while feeling an attraction to customer Hal O'Connell. KNIT TWO TOGETHER is an interesting family drama that focuses on Libby who must face her heritage and her future at the same time due to the actions of the two people she believes betrayed her (her late mom and her cheating spouse). Libby's change of heart makes for a fascinating second chance at love when she decides to leave Pennsylvania for Ohio to get away from her husband. Though her lifestyle changes seem to knit together too easily, readers will enjoy her efforts to start over and forgive those who left her. Harriet Klausner
