"Not good"
Thought the characters were poorly written and unengaging. The narrator made these women sound even older and whinier than they ought to have been. Not a good novel about grief, mental illness, friendship, or even knitting. Sorry I wasted time and money on this one

"Naration was good"
Is there anything you would change about this book?The description of the story used to entice the reader.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?Erase it and start over.
Which scene was your favorite?I didn't have a favorite.
Could you see Knitting being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?no.
Any additional comments?The story was ok. A bit sad. It would be nice if the description of the story (any story) indicated the tone. I didn't agree with the description. It lead you to believe that even though the main character's husband died, she found a new life. There was not a happier ending. The sadness/sense of loss was from start to finish.

"An enjoyable listen"
This is an enjoyable listen, with a meaningful, layered story I enjoyed listening to, while knitting :) The character development is okay, but I'd have preferred more insight into the women early in the story line. The two main characters, Sandra and Martha, begin with one seemingly strong and sympathetic and the other talented but seemingly flawed. By the final scene, the descriptions have switched between the characters, but still with too little real insight into Sandra as a person.
My primary hesitation comes as a knitter. The knitting details do not always ring true, despite the acknowledgments section at the end where the author professes to be a knitter. I'd also love to know if the "feather" stitch is in fact "feather and fan" and more definitive information about the other stitches mentioned - none of which are referred to with an American name - and not even one that comes up when googled. Why the tease?0 of 0 people found this review helpful -
"Very Enjoyable"
The book and narrator seemed a bit quirky at first, but I found it refreshing and enjoyable.
