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.

A real change from what I usually read. However, the more I got I to it the better it was. I can imagine this being a real life story, loved the way it weaved through life , all around a knitting club. Great idea x

This story is so different

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

I wasn't expecting anything nearly as dimensional or rich in details, however, this book was wonderful.
Packed with plenty of twists and turns, characters with their struggles and lives running a long the main story.
Giving splashes of colour, adding diverse and interesting flavours too.

Spoiler... Alert
I had already guessed the ending and I don't think it diminished the story or my enjoyment of this book at all.
I unapologetically sat in floods tears as the story unfolded. I greatly admire the care and attention given by Kate Jacobs, the author. The sensitivity she showed in writing about such a difficult subject turned a good book into a great book for me.
The narrator dived in and out of each character with ease, adding small details to the voices of each character enriching the whole experience for me...

wow, an unexpected gem... qamazing

Good story but sad ending. The narrator's chapters don't match Audible's, which is annoying. And her Scottish accent is terrible but apart from that, an easy listen. Especially if you like knitting.

Easy going listening...until the end
