Knit Two by Kate Jacobs

Have you read Friday Night Knitting Club? It's not exactly high literature, but it's a really sweet story about some unlikely friendships formed between a group of women who start knitting together in the main character Georgia's yarn shop. I am very lucky to have a few close friends that live near me who are also knitters, but I know not everyone has that luxury, and it has taken me several years to find those people. For me, part of the reason I started and continue this blog is the connection with other knitters that I make, even if it is from a long geographical distance. I have had the opportunity to meet a few "blog friends" in person, and its generally been a really great experience.
My longtime blog-friend Stephanie and I were emailing earlier today about reading Knit Two (the sequel to Friday Night Knitting Club) together and trying to do an online book club-type discussion thing (maybe over Google video chat? We're still working out the details.) We will probably do our first discussion sometime the week between Christmas and New Year's.
Anyway, we decided to put it out there to see if anyone else was interested. Let me know, and I'll email you to work out the details.
Do you know if you need to read the first one before this one? I have the first in my drawer right now, but I haven't started it yet. I would be willing to skip and do a long distance book club!
I read the first book on vacation and really enjoyed it. I would love to do a book club type thing with the second.
I have had this book in my car for months to read when I am "waiting" places (you know, like the doctor's office, the car dealer etc.) but haven't gotten past the first few pages yet. I might not have much time to read between now and Christmas but will have time after :)
It looks like we have some takers. I'm off to post on my blog too! This is going to be so fun!
