Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

pictish

Has anybody tried these? I just picked up a couple in Tescos on offer - they are about a group of women who own/visit a yarn shop and the power of knitting to change lives (I think!!). They seem to be very popular and you can even get books that go along with them with the patterns mentioned in each one for you to knit along Wink

I'm not normally a chicklit person but thought I'd give them a go since they were on offer!!

I will do!!! I enjoyed the Friday Night Knitting Club which is a similar type of book tho a bit sad at times Confused

There are also some knitting murder mysteries aren't there but can't think what they're called Rolling Eyes

I've read three of these and enjoyed the first two but by the third the formula had got a bit repetitive.

I read the first one and enjoyed it a lot. My mum bought another (fron Tesco!) but I haven't read it yet.

Great thanks!!! Cool

I got the first one - £3 or 2 for £5 - in Tescos and the newest one - £3.86 in Tescos. They had a couple of other ones of hers on the 2 for £5 shelf too!!

They also had the new Friday Night Knitting Club one too - called Knit Two I think.

I love the Blossom street books, I've read the first 3 and got the 4th ready.
DD has just bought the Second Friday Night knitting club book in Tescos (yes it is called Knit Two and is set 5 years after the last one) She really enjoyed the first one even though she isn't a knitter, and bought this herself (she's 16) as she thought we could both read it.

I got Knit Two from the library and really enjoyed it. There was not much knitting in it though.
