  <default_description>Knitting and life. They&#8217;re both about beginnings &#8212; and endings. That&#8217;s why it makes sense for Lydia Goetz, owner of A Good Yarn on Seattle&#8217;s Blossom Street, to offer a class called Knit to Quit. It&#8217;s for people who want to quit something &#8212; or someone! &#8212; and start a new phase of their lives.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;First to join is Phoebe Rylander. She recently ended her engagement to a man who doesn&#8217;t know the meaning of faithful, and she&#8217;s trying to get over him. Then there&#8217;s Alix Turner. She and her husband, Jordan, want a baby, which means she has to quit smoking. And Bryan Hutchinson joins the class because he needs a way to deal with the stress of running his family&#8217;s business &#8212; not to mention the lawsuit brought against him by an unscrupulous lawyer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Life can be as complicated as a knitting pattern. Just ask Anne Marie Roche. She and her adopted daughter, Ellen, finally have the happiness they wished for. And then a stranger comes to her bookstore asking questions. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Or ask Lydia herself. Not only is she coping with her increasingly frail mother, but she and Brad have unexpectedly become foster parents to an angry, defiant twelve-year-old.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But as Lydia already knows, when life gets difficult and your stitches are snarled, your friends can always help!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Typical Debbie McComber book... light, breezy, and easy to read.  She didn't backtrack and re-explain everyone's character/background too much in this book like I've found she does a lot sometimes.  Especially with her Cedar Cove series.  And it's also a NEW book, not a book of her OLD novels -- wri...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65279691">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Just another fun, easy read Blossom Street book.  I really enjoy Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street series and one of these days she might even get me to start knitting again!  It was predictable, fun and the characters brainlessly interesting.  Quick fun! ... now back to more serious reads... althoug...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57705249">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I like Macomber's stories of friendship and women's lives best and for that reason I like the Blossom Street series. The chapters switch back and forth continuing each characters story beginning with what they all have in common, generally taking a knitting class at A Good Yarn, a knitting store set...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56256677">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is another Blossom Street book by Debbie Macomber.  There are patterns in the book and a pattern book available from Leisure Arts which I just purchased.  The book is a great read.  I enjoyed it as much as the other Blossom Street Books.  Debbie also leaves some things up in the air to make ano...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57367123">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love the idea of a knitting class called Knit to Quit. Summer on blossom Street is a delight as are all the books in this series. I love how she brings people back from the other books. She added a couple of new characters this time.

    <body><![CDATA[The Blossom Street books (of which this is #5 in the series) are just wonderful.  The characters have real, contemporary problems but they are addressed in such a way as to make the reader feel satisfied with their resolution.

    <body><![CDATA[I listened to this on audio. It took a while to get used to Delilah's voice from the radio. The book had a sweet story but pretty predictable. And the vocabulary seemed forced.
