Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

I've read all the Blossom Street books apart form the new one which I'm planning to order this week. I loved them and so did my friend who's not a knitter but I'm working on persuading her. LOL.

I've also read both Friday night knitting club books and Divas don't knit and the sequel which I don't remember the name of. Loved them both but 'Divas...' and sequel the constant swearing and blasphemy annoyed me a lot.

Wow!! I loved the first one of this series Razz

I started it at 1pm yesterday and I just could not put it down - finished it at 11pm last night Laughing

I just loved it - have just ordered the next this morning and wish I'd gone into town to get it cos I'm missing the characters Laughing

Not my usual style at all and was a bit put off at first by all the problems the characters had but you just get so drawn in and it's definitely not a depressing book - very positive in fact!!

Great as Fi said for a nice light and quick read - and the knitting is real seemng IYKWIM - I think the author has a real yarn shop and there is a Debbie Macomber group on Rav Wink

I know what you mean pictish, I had a little gap waiting for the next one to arrive, and when it did it was like meeting up with old friends again.

Debbie Macomber is definitely a knitter herself (I remember reading it on her website) and I've just discovered the 5th book in the series was published in May...

she says nipping off to amazon

I got all excited there pictish, but unfortunately Old Boyfriends isn't in the 'Yarn shop' series Crying or Very sad

though I have got that one, and reading about Christmas letters/wishes on Amazon, I don't think that is either - oh well, thanks anyway.

I stopped reading books about 3-4 years ago, was ill and had a lot of upset. I have read the Harry Potter set but thats it. I used to love Stephen King, Patricia Cornell, Karin Slaughter and all things gruesome. Nowadays I can't cope with sad or miserable or creepy, strange I know. So I struggle to find a book. Not keen on the silly chick lit. like confessions of a shopaholic type. But I do like something a bit light and uplifting. I might try the Blossom Street series. I nearly got Friday Noight Knitting Club but read somewhere it has sad bits
