Chicks with Sticks: Jane Eyre

just_renny@evpl — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 15:29:00 GMT

Join me with your latest stitching creation whether it is crochet, knitting, or embroidery, in Central Library's Conference Room on Tuesday, February 15. We will be discussing Jane Eyre while working on craft projects during this meet up. Last month we tried the Cup and Chaucer Cafe, but had difficulty hearing one another, so grab a snack and a beverage and head up to the second floor Conference Room where will have plenty of space to spread out. We will try to get started around 6pm.

I am still working away on my orange and black scarf for my husband, but I might bring something different to work on this month! If you aren't a crafter, but love Jane Eyre and want to join our discussion group, please feel welcome and encouraged to attend!

We are planning on meeting the third Tuesday of every month from January through May. For the rest of the meeting times and the corresponding book, check out this page.

Kate Jacobs' Knitting Novels

I have never knitted and rarely do I crochet. So, when I first heard about The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs, I dismissed it as just another of the trendy knitting-themed novels to hit the shelves since yarn crafts started making their big comeback. I just wasn't interested in reading about a craft I don't do. It wasn't until Kate Jacobs' second novel, Comfort Food arrived that I wondered if I should take a closer look. I recently read both books and I have to say that Jacobs writes wonderful characters. Her stories, while perhaps not as strong as her characters, are warm and charming. I would recommend both books, but I especially enjoyed The Friday Night Knitting Club. I was so drawn in, I did very little this past Sunday other than read FNKC. So, I'm very excited that at the end of the month a sequel, Knit Two, will be released!
