Kathleen Jacobs' debut novel "The Friday Night Knitting Club" has been described as “Steel Magnolias meets The Jane Austen Book Club with Knitting!” It’s about a group of women who knit in a club above a delicatessen in New York. The craft of knitting enables each of the women to make transitions together. As they knit the wool together, they bond to each other just as keenly. Sounds a bit like “How to Make an American Quilt” to me, but according to “The Bookseller”, Hodder have paid a six figure dollar sum for the novel.
