"A sweet and cozy book. When I started it, I was reminded of the atmosphere in the Mitford books. I don't knit, but I read, in fact I read a lot, so this book was right up my alley! One think is sure, I'll have to read those children classics! And maybe one day I'll try my hand at knitting!" — Carine (4 out of 5 stars)

" Good book, just a bit on the cheesy side and everything wraps up a little too nicely for me in the end given the time frame. "
" Reminded me a lot of the early Mitford books by Jan Karon - but with a bit more reality. Great tie-ins with other classic books. "
" Kind of like all the other knitting, baking, quilting, reading club books but liked it anyway. Can't have too many knitting, baking, quilting, reading club books Ha Ha! "
" Knitting AND a librarian?! Be still my heart... "
" truly loved it.. kept thinking that i had read it already because i felt like i was home:-) look forward to many more stories about these ladies:-) "
" At first I was thinking there were too many characters and how do I keep track of them. But once I got into the story, I couldn't stop reading it. "
" Loved this one. A great combination of books and knitting with some small town craziness thrown in! "
" I read it as a book club selection. It was light reading and a little on the "sweet" side, but enjoyable and some good character development eventually. "
" A light read that deals with heavy topics. The characters are well-defined, the problems they face realistic, and the story lines interesting. "
" if you like books of the genre women in a circle of friends this is a good one "
" I did not finish this one. I didn't find any of the characters interesting. It was similar to Debbie Macombers Blossom Street series but not nearly as good or as well developed. "
" Surprisingly deep. I connected with all of these characters much more than I had anticipated. I picked up this book expecting a quick, fluffy read and was pleasantly surprised with the depth of characters. I'll definitely be reading more by Beth Pattillo. "
" Good, interesting fiction. Very down-to-earth enjoyable. "
" Comfort read full of life crisis solved over the knitting needles. "
" I think this will be a fun series to read. You get to know each of the main characters quite well and become engaged in their lives. I just wish the name of the of the book was Knit AND Lit Society--it would make for a smoother title read. "
" great book love the way it keeps you guessing "
" A light read with some substance and some surprises. "
" Meh. Predictable. "
" I will definitely be reading this author's other books with hopes that they are just as good. The story was very heartwarming and sweet. I hope there's a series planned with these characters. "
" Book one of The Sweetgum Knit Lit books. I read the second book first, but it was nice to read the first book to find out where everyone "came" from. Looking forward to the next book in the series. "
" I loved this! I enjoyed all the characters and was happy to see that a sequel was written.... "
" I liked how all of these women came together; there are more stories here and I hope Pattillo continues to write about Sweetgum. "
" Although the formula for this book is familiar, the stories in it were interesting and I enjoyed it. "
" I really enjoyed this! It reminded me of the Debbie MacComber books, but I had an easier time relating to these characters. I hope more will follow and this will be a series. "
" A sweet book that was a quick read. Just what I needed after reading some heavy dysfunctional biography! "
" The protagonist is a librarian who knits and helps out children in need...what's not to like? "
" I quick read, for me, but a wonderful weaving of lives in a small town. "
" This is the first book I read of Beth Pattillo and I enjoyed it. "
