I really, really wanted to like this book. I'm a knitter and loved the idea of a chick-lit/women's fiction novel focused around the relationships and craft that "stitch" together a knitting group. However, I couldn't have cared less about the characters in this book. They were wooden and one-dimensional, either representing a stereotype or a carefully constructed personality set up against a stereotype, almost so the author could say "Look! I'm not being stereotypical!"
The writing style was difficult as well. The sentence fragments and short thoughts kept me jolted and jarred. This is a personal preferance of style more than anything. I wanted the prose to feel like the softest baby alpaca running through my fingers. Instead I got waste ends of boucle.
