About this listen

 It starts almost by accident: the women who buy their knitting needles and wool from Georgia Walker's little yarn shop linger for advice, for a coffee, for a chat and before they know it, every Friday night is knitting night.

And as the needles clack, and the garments grow, the conversation moves on from patterns and yarn to life, love and everything. They may be different ages, from different backgrounds and facing different problems, but they are drawn together by threads of affection that prove as durable as the sweaters they knit.

Struggled with it a little, I think the storyline and level of detail was just not for me personally. Perhaps too many sub stories going on in the background for me. But please read it and form your own opinion you may just love it.

Narration good, storyline did not work for me

Thoroughly enjoyed this as I'm a knitter so it caught my imagination. Superb narration also

Relaxing audio

I did struggle initially to 'get into' the plot but just as it takes time to master a new knitting pattern, the characters evolved and grew.

Great knitting of characters.

I really enjoyed listening to this book, listening to friendships change & grow. If your creative yourself even if not a knitter I think it adds another element too.

A book of friendship

Really lovely story. Would recommend.
It started slowly but gradually the characters developed and I enjoyed the book .

Enjoyable book

Great story and for the most part a good delivery, apart from one big ’but…’.

The chapters were introduced, but within chapters each character had a separate focus. I would assume that in the printed book these were identified in some way - perhaps with a paragraph break - but this Audible presentation didn’t do this, the commentary just ran on. This made listening very confusing as you’d be in a section on one character then get confused as their story started to not make sense - it didn’t make sense as the story had moved on to another character but you didn’t immediately know that. This was particularly difficult at the start when all the characters’ personal stories were being introduced.

Something as simple as a pause in the commentary would identify this change in direction and stop the confusion. Or better still, just say the character’s name before continuing.

Had this been done I would have given 5* across the board.

Good story, disappointing delivery

The ending wasn’t at all what I expected but I thought it had a lot going on and was really well written and read

I really liked this

A lovely and peaceful book with rich interwoven characters that you just can't help loving. Made me laugh and cry. The wisdom of knitting and life rolled into one.

So this is why I knit...

Would you consider the audio edition of The Friday Night Knitting Club to be better than the print version?

Because I wanted to knit whilst listening to it, yes!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Georgia, so strong, kind and forgiving.

Have you listened to any of Regina Reagan’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No

Any additional comments?

I don't normally do girly books, but....
