I recently finished reading "Friday Night Knitting Club" by Kate Jacobs for my book club.

This soon-to-be-a-Julia Roberts-movie was a very light, interesting read.

I hesitated at first, due to the title (it gave me visions of rocking chairs and itchy sweaters) , but as you "can't judge a book by its cover" - I dove in - and was pleasantly surprised! Instead of needle-talk the book focused on real life issues, and has a pleasant blend of caracters, who meet each Friday, like any other group of women might - though I sometimes felt that some caracters were unnessary to the story, together their stores blended well for a good read - some may say like a knitted blanket!
