Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Continuing the warm-and-fuzzy saga begun in her popular The Friday Night Knitting Club, Jacobs stitches together another winning tale of the New York City knitting circle, more a sisterhood than a hobby group (the irascible Darwin Chiu can't even really knit). In this installment-and it does feel like an installment-readers catch up five years after the unexpected, book-capping death of club leader (and knitting shop owner Georgia Walker. Georgia's 18-year-old Dakota is at NYU, discovering her first love, while her father James and Georgia's best friend Catherine are still coming to terms. The rest of the cast runs a wide gamut of ages and experience, but is easier to follow this time around, as Jacobs is more comfortable giving them more space and backstory. Pregnant, whip-smart professor Darwin and her husband, Dan, are welcoming twins; video director and single mom Lucie is coping with a hyperactive 5-year-old and a failing parent; Georgia's old mentor, the wise Anita, begins questioning her own motives; and everyone's stories cross paths in satisfying, organic ways. A trip to Italy provides some forward motion, and pays off in a charming denouementthat nevertheless pushes a familiar it's-the-journey-not-the-destination message; still, this sequel is as comforting, enveloping and warm as a well-crafted afghan.

From Booklist

Jacobs’ follow-up to the popular novel The Friday Night Knitting Club (2007) opens five years after Georgia Walker’s tragic death from ovarian cancer. Her daughter, Dakota, is  now a freshman at NYU, and Georgia’s former employee, Peri, is running Georgia’s yarn shop, Walker and Daughter. The group Georgia formed, the Friday Night Knitting Club, lives on in her absence despite how different all of the members are. Seventy-eight-year-old Anita is planning her wedding to deli owner Marty, despite opposition from her children. Serious professor Darwin is dealing with first-time motherhood and is frustrated that her best friend, Lucie, isn’t around to help. Lucie is trying to juggle her career as a producer with caring for her aging mother and difficult daughter. Georgia’s best friend, Catherine, is reassessing her life and her failed relationships. Reading Jacobs’ second knitting novel is as warming and cheering as visiting old friends. News of a forthcoming movie version of the first book will increase demand. --Kristine Huntley

3.0 out of 5 stars just a sequel, July 13, 2009
By Katie Smith (Southeastern United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Knit Two is not nearly as good as Friday Night Knitting Club, though I do appreciate the continuation of Anita, Cat, Dakota, Darwin, Lucie, etc. Even where it fall short, I think Knit Two is a great empowering book. It would make a great book club read. I can't wait for Knit the Season to come out. Over all, I really like Kate Jacobs work.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sequel is not as good as Original, October 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This sequel took a long time to get to the point of story development. One of the perks of reading on Kindle in that you can see the percent of the book read so far, and I noticed that we were a good 11-12% into the book before anything started to happen. It was as though the author was summarizing Friday Night Knit Club in that first part of the book, to the detriment of the story. I almost quit reading, but enjoyed the original so much that I was looking for a good read.

This time around the characters have less development, and the story is predictable. Sorry to say that this was a disappointment. The characters do not really grow, but seem as though they are set into a surrounding, for instance half the knit club trooped off to Europe,with some travel reasons being contrived. The author aims and misses at writing a book about meaningful interactions among women of different backgrounds and age groups. Unfortunately, the ending sure sounded like a Book 3 is coming. I will pass on that one.
