Journal Entry 4 by skcreader from Roanoke, Virginia USA on Sunday, March 09, 2008

fun, quick read - the author obviously did her homework regarding knitting and women's healthcare issues. Sending on to next in line... 

Journal Entry 5 by cm21 from Cobourg, Ontario Canada on Friday, March 28, 2008

Picked it up at the post office today! Thanks clairemagnolia for getting this started and thanks to skcreader for sending it along to me. I'm really interesting to read it and will try to send it on its way quickly. 

Journal Entry 6 by LindyB28 from Cambridge, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Monday, June 23, 2008

Arrived today: thank you Clairemagnolia and cheryl21! This looks like a very enticing read to have on the book stand while I finish my latest knitting project. 

Journal Entry 7 by LindyB28 from Cambridge, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, June 24, 2008

This really caught my mood today; the characters will stay with me. Will pm Bonnie 0907 for her address.

Thanks again for arranging the ring.

I have enjoyed this book and I am now sending it on to the next person on the list, celticseahorse. 

Journal Entry 10 by celticseahorse from Newquay, Cornwall United Kingdom on Thursday, July 31, 2008

Arrived safely on a cold wet Cornwall summer day :-) Thank you Bonnie0907 for sending ...another time a BC book has brought some sunshine to a dull day.

I have one half read and then can get to this. 

Journal Entry 11 by celticseahorse from Newquay, Cornwall United Kingdom on Tuesday, August 05, 2008

I enjoyed this, it was a good page turner but a bit disjointed at times. Good believable characters and 'unravelling' plot:-)
I found the ending a bit hurried and would have preferred this to have been the two thirds point of the book. The book created a good warm feeling and was a very good duvet day book.

Scottish Gran was my favourite character ;-)
I can see me picking up my knitting needles again soon..
Thanks for the ring..contacted Tuftynut and should be on its way this week.
Apologies for delay finally in post today ..been confined to barracks with a summer offering:-) 

Journal Entry 12 by Tuftynut from Stepney, Greater London United Kingdom on Sunday, September 07, 2008

Arrived safely with me - just finishing "Around The World in 80 Dates" and then it'll be next on the reading list. Thanks :-) 

Journal Entry 13 by Tuftynut from Stepney, Greater London United Kingdom on Friday, September 19, 2008

I loved this book - once I got to reading it I couldn't stop, really felt myself getting involved with the characters and am enthused to pick up my knitting again :-)

On its way to Inver today. 

Journal Entry 14 by Inver from Aberdeen, Scotland United Kingdom on Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Arrived this morning, thank you. I am reading a bookring at the moment and then one more after, so it may be a wee while before I get to this, but will be as quick as I can.
2/10/08 - I am about a third of the way through this one...enjoying. Hoping to finish this next week and pass on to Bonnethillbunny as we are on hols together.
 

Journal Entry 15 by Inver from Aberdeen, Scotland United Kingdom on Saturday, November 15, 2008

Very enjoyable made all the more so as I could read it in peace while on holiday with my sis (Bonnethillbunny). I loved all the characaters and it really did make me want to pick up my knitting, even more so when they visited Granny in Scotland. I was a little saddened by the ending though.

.........................................................................

I have passed this book on to Bonnethillbunny, but she may be unable to register it at the moment as they are having computer problems again, but I said I would let people know by this post. She has another book to read for her book group first and then hopefully will get to it next. Any problems to contact her please PM me. 

Journal Entry 16 by BonnethillBunny from Pitlochry, Scotland United Kingdom on Monday, January 05, 2009

have enjoyed this, quite a light read, and slightly unbelievable, Georgia's friend Cat annoys me intensely, are there really women like that? have almost finished and will send on its way once I have address

On its way to Peamartian as beebarf has withdrawn.
Most enjoyable, if a little annoying at times (Cat)
You may need tissues! 

Journal Entry 18 by PeaMartian from Durham, County Durham United Kingdom on Monday, January 19, 2009

Received with thanks! Looking forward to it... 

Journal Entry 19 by PeaMartian from Durham, County Durham United Kingdom on Tuesday, February 10, 2009

I read this book over the weekend, and found it to be a great thing to curl up with in front of the fire away from the miserable weather. I enjoyed most of the characters, but agree with other journalers that Cat was very annoying (unfortunately, yes, I do think that people like this really exist). Scottish Gran was also my favourite!

I also thought that the ending was rushed, and the dialogue didn't really ring true for me in the "Mastering a complicated stitch" section (Chapters 17 - 21).

Overall, a good read. Thanks for sharing!

Posting on to Clairemagnolia today, so that she can finally read it herself...

Journal Entry 24 by teuffi from Wandsworth, Greater London United Kingdom on Friday, May 15, 2009

The book was waiting patiently for me in the mailbox yesterday... Very happy to have it! I have a few books to read beforehand but looking forward to this one! Thanks for the RABCK IWISHIWAS! 

Journal Entry 25 by teuffi at Wandsworth, Greater London United Kingdom on Saturday, August 20, 2011

Has it really been two years since I got this book??? Can't believe it's taken me so long to start it!

I agree with the previous comments re the ending and the favourite and least liked characters.

I enjoyed reading it all the same, an easy, captivating story that makes me want to get back to knitting too, but also I think reinforces the idea that if you are passionate about something, you will somehow get people interested in it, no matter how many preconceived ideas they may have about it!

Thanks to all the previous readers for passing the book on. I shall check who to send it to next as an RABCK!
