Kate Jacobs is the New York Times-bestselling author of Comfort Food, Knit Two, and The Friday Night Knitting Club, which has over 1 million copies in print.

“The thing is, that when you're young, you always think you'll meet all sorts of wonderful people, that drifting apart and losing friends is natural. You don't worry, at first, about the friends you leave behind. But as you get older, it gets harder to build friendships. Too many defenses, too little opportunity. You get busy. And by the time you realize that you've lost the dearest best friend you've ever had, years have gone by and you're mature enough to be embarrassed by your attitude and, frankly, by your arrogance.”
Kate Jacobs, The Friday Night Knitting Club

“Life isn't a straightforward climb up the ladder. It can take a few slips to really gain perspective.”
Kate Jacobs

“And there's always a better time than right now and there always will be. But right now is what we've got.”
Kate Jacobs, The Friday Night Knitting Club
