The Shop on Blossom Street
4 journalers for this copy...
There's a little yarn shop on Blossom Street in Seattle. It's owned by Lydia Hoffman, and it represents her dream of a new life free from cancer. A life that offers a chance at love . . .
Lydia teaches knitting to beginners, and the first class is "How to Make a Baby Blanket." Three women join. Jacqueline Donovan wants to knit something for her grandchild as a gesture of reconciliation with her daughter-in-law. Carol Girard feels that the baby blanket is a message of hope as she makes a final attempt to conceive. And Alix Townsend is knitting her blanket for a court-ordered community service project.
These four very different women, brought together by an age-old craft, make unexpected discoveries — about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to friendship and more . . .
Duplicate Copy!

Lydia Hoffman has opened up a yarn shop on Blossom Street. She wants to affirm her life now that she is cancer-free. In order to gain some business Lydia offers beginners a lesson on "Knitting a Baby Blanket". Three ladies show up.
Jacqueline who is a high society snob dislikes her daughter-in-law and now finds out she is to be a grandma. This blanket will show 'good faith'.
Carol who has been through two IVFs is about to begin another set which will be her last. She believes this is a sign of a pregnancy without mishaps.
Alix who was caught with her roomie's drugs will do this for community service. Maybe knitting is a way to control her anger.
Each of the ladies is completely different and they end up learning about themselves and forming deep friendships.

Thank you so much for this and all the other fabulous birthday goodies x
I had read another book by Debbie Macomber and enjoyed it, so wanted to read more. This looked like a light enjoyable read so I took it on holiday with me. It was so good I read it all in one day on my sun lounger! I really got involved in the lives of the women in the book and laughed and cried along with them. Will be looking for others in this series.
