Mar. 31, 2010 - Knit the Season by Kate Jacobs

"They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom." - Confucius


In this third book of the series, big changes are percolating for the members of the Friday Night Knitting Club as life continues to bring surprises and decisions to be made in order for everyone to grow and be happy. Will Anita finally marry her fiancé of seven years, Marty, despite the protests of her middle-aged son, Nathan? What will happen between Catherine and her Italian boyfriend, Marco as they continue their long-distance relationship? How will Dakota deal with these changes as she tries to finish school and keep up with the management of the knitting shop, Walker and Daughter? Will her partner Peri accept the job offer in Paris to work for a big designer and how will Dakota run the store without her?


Amidst all of these changes, memories of Georgia, seen through the eyes of her friends and family, help Dakota to learn about her mother in a different way and thus, come to terms with the decisions she needs to make in her own life. Flashback scenes offer a unique perspective of Georgia's relationships with others - her brother, Donny; her parents; and Dakota's father, James. A trip to Scotland to visit Georgia's grandmother reveals even more changes and reminiscences of days gone by.


Dakota comes to realize the importance of family and friends in her life's journey. Although she is afraid of what the future will bring, she knows that no matter where everyone travels, they will continue to be a part of each other's lives.
