THE BOOK CORNER
The Shop On Blossom Street 
by Debbie Macomber

With a renewed interest in Knitting on my part, and having enjoyed several books by Debbie Macomber in the past, I recently read and enjoyed The Shop On Blossom Street. And whether you're an old time knitter or this is your first time learning to cast on and purl, I do recommend you read a book, which blends a bobby with personal friendships.  

The Shop On Blossom Street books tell the story of a young woman and cancer survivor who opens a knitting store. Offering knitting classes to attract customers, three women come to the shop to learn how to make a baby blanket. But these three women couldn't be more different or come to the classes for different reasons, which don't necessarily include learning how to knit. And we as readers watch as these three women learn the stitches, watch their baby blankets take shape, and find themselves learning more about each other, helping each other with their projects and influencing each other's lives. B the End of the book we find them forming lasting friendships and we know we won't soon forget these knitters.

Similar to the premise of Debbie Macomber's book, Thursday At Eight which I really enjoyed, The Shop On Blossom Street while somewhat predictable was a good journey and satisfying destination. The best part is that the sequel, A Good Yarn, was recently published and I look forward to reading this shortly.
