Loved "a good yarn"....while it does revolve around a yarn shop and knittin...the story is about the friendships and commeraderie that develops between a group of women who are taking knitting class to learn to make socks ..it about how their lives will change through the companionship of each other...it's romance, overcoming shyness,getting on after a divorce.,.it's about life....highly recommend reading...Debbie Macomber does a wonderful job on all the characters.
