There, she takes over her beloved Gran's knitting shop -- a quaint but out-of-date store in desperate need of a facelift. After a rough beginning, Jo soon finds comfort in a \"Stitch and Bitch\" group; a collection of quirky, lively women who share their stories, and their addiction to cake, with warmth and humor. As Jo starts to get the hang of single-parent life in a small town, she relies on her knitting group for support. The women meet every week at the shop on Beach Street and trade gossip and advice as freely as they do a new stitch. But when a new man enters Jo's life, and an A-list actress moves into the local mansion, the knitting club has even more trouble confining the conversation to knit one, purl two.\u003ci\u003eThe Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club\u003c\/i\u003e is an uplifting, winning tale about the healing power of friendship and new beginnings. It's a charming novel that will delight all passionate knitters -- and win over befuddled, would-be knitters, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGil McNeil\u003c\/b\u003e lives in Kent, England, with her son and is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNeedles and Pearls\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eKnit One Pearl One\u003c\/i\u003e, among other novels -- and she's also working on a scarf and a rather tricky jumper.
