Knitting and Novel



I found this novel about 2 weeks ago on a sale at a bookstore. The cover had taken my attention at the first sight because it reminds me to one of my new blogger friend, Rachel from the Cornblueflower Studio who loves knitting.
I can’t knit but always admire people who knitting. I seldom buy a novel just by looking the cover, but that time I didn’t know I really want this novel. Until today I have read until page 80, all is 329 pages :)
So far … the story is very interesting. It’s a deeply moving portrait of female friendship at a knitting club.

  2. When I 1st saw this the cover had my attention, its a lovely cover. The book sounds interesting as well, friendship from a knitting club, is almost like friendship from our crafty blog friends.

  3. henny,
    you asked about sashing. here is a great link that explains all about it. sashing is simply fabric strips that are used to border your quilt blocks. some quilts have sashing and others don't. let me know if you have other questions. good luck getting started!
