Knit Two by Kate Jacobs

If you haven't read the first book, A Friday Night Knitting Club, do so. This is the sequel and it is every bit as good as the first one. You can certainly read this book independently but I think it would be more enjoyable after meeting the characters in the first book. Five years have passed and things have changed during those years. The one thing that remains is the close-knit (pun intended) group of friends who range from college-aged to late seventies. I think she does a terrific job of writing and pulling the reader into the lives of these characters - and most of all she makes me care about them. I started the book yesterday and finished it today - I haven't done that for a while but it was that good.
