I guess maybe it's one of those British books that have a different title in the US (I'm in Canada, we tend to get the British titles).sassymonkeyhttp://sassymonkeyreads.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-52965721729620292342009-04-11T06:44:00.000-05:002009-04-11T06:44:00.000-05:00Bonnie - I saw it on the New Shelf at the library ...<B>Bonnie</B> - I saw it on the New Shelf at the library and picked it up. The knitting is just a vehicle to move the story along, but the author is a knitter. It was a light, fun book with likable characters.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-28944004108735874962009-04-10T21:15:00.000-05:002009-04-10T21:15:00.000-05:00I'm not a big fan of Chick Lit but I do enjoy knit...I'm not a big fan of Chick Lit but I do enjoy knitting books and the british aspects sound interesting.<BR/>I'm adding it to my wishlist.

When it's good, I love it. I can laugh, smile and spend time reading but relaxing too. But when it's bad, ugh. You immediately shiver when you see a pink cover :)<BR/><BR/>So, I'm going to add this one to my list for when I need a fun, light read.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-47677692458325050892009-04-08T15:53:00.000-05:002009-04-08T15:53:00.000-05:00I love the book cover.

I probably would have skipped this one based on the title alone, but now you've got me curious.
