   The Friday Night Knitting Club is a series of 4 books, The Friday Night Knitting Club, Knit Two, Comfort Food, and Knit the Season. 

   Georgia and Dakota Walker are the owners of Walker and Daughter, a local knitting shop in New York. Though Dakota is only 12 years old, she, like her mother, is an avid knitter. As the shop grows, the two become acquainted with some of their customers, Anita, K.C., Peri, Lucie, and most recently, Darwin. The ladies started staying after hours on Friday nights, and it was declared that Fridays were the nights of the Friday Night Knitting Club. As Georgia deals with the shop, the knitting club, and her 12 year old daughter wanting more freedom being an 'almost 13-year-old,' she gets a few more things to juggle. Dakota's father, James, who left Georgia before Dakota was even born, decides to just pop in one day and get to know his daughter. Not only that, Georgia gets another surprise visit from a Cat Phillips, formerly known as Cathy Anderson and Georgia's best friend. As the book progresses, so does the relationships between James and Cat. Georgia, Dakota and Cat, who wasn't exactly invited, take a trip to Scotland so that Dakota can meet Georgia's grandmother and Dakota's great-grandmother,Gran. While they're there, an unexpected visitor shows up. And the current state of their relationship will change for good. Back home, Anita decides to head to the doctor for a check up and when Georgia calls to make the appointment for her, the nurse urges Georgia to make an appointment for herself too. But when Georgia gets a call from the doctor the next week, everyone is brought closer than ever.
   I highly suggest this book, but I will warn you, it is a little sad. But it's also exciting, emotional, and funny! Whether you like knitting or not, it's a great book either way!
