Cat now muscles in to Georgia’s life to commission a hand-knit dress and subsequently becomes part of the knitting group. Cat and Georgia’s friendship ended acrimoniously after they ended up at different universities, after swearing a lifetime of friendship.
Meanwhile, Cat, Georgia’s best friend from schooldays, comes back into her life as wife to a rich philanderer. She wonders why he has returned now, what are her feelings towards him and can she trust him after all this time? His reappearance is uncomfortable for Georgia. James is keen to create a new relationship with the daughter which he has never known. The story’s main love interest is black architect James Foster who has returned to New York after dumping Georgia when she was pregnant with Dakota and then moving to France to take up a lucrative posting. Anita has been Georgia’s rock and support for years but needs Georgia’s advice when a new suitor arrives on the scene. The two women have a close friendship and they both value this relationship highly above demands from their natural families.
Georgia’s friend Anita is a lively widow in her seventies. She is at that awkward age when she asks plenty of awkward questions of her mother Georgia. Dakota is 12 years old and is a pretty handy knitter herself, but is even better at producing muffins, cookies and cupcakes for the club members. However, the achievement that she is most proud of is raising her daughter, Dakota. Georgia has struggled to make ends meet all her life and has worked all hours to make her yarn shop a success. The book was Kate Jacobs’ debut which describes the concerns and hopes of the group members as they deal with heartaches, difficulties and joyful moments. It is a book about female friendships, loves, parenthood and, of course… knitting. The Friday Night Knitting Club written by Kate Jacobs is about a single Mum, Georgia Walker, her shop on Broadway’s Upper East Side in New York and a group of friends who visit her yarn shop. Have you ever wondered what the lives of other knitters are like?
