Jo has transformed her grandmother?s dusty wool shop in a small seaside town on the Kent coast. But with two sons keeping her busy, and baby Pearl, now a lively toddler who refuses to wear hats even in deepest midwinter, Jo has her hands full. She?s also dealing with a new café, a high maintenance international celebrity client, a hapless suitor, and on top of it all, a visit from her mother--she needs all the support she can get. Luckily she has a tried and true circle around her like her beloved Gran, her firecracker of a best friend, Ellen, and all of the women who come to her knitting shop for gossip, venting and, of course, cake. Jo discovers the Beatles were right-- the only way to get by is with a little help from our friends.
Warm and witty, Knit one, Pearl one is about the way one woman learns how to build a new life for herself, stitch by stitch, and to relish the friendship, fun, and romance in amongst the casting on and casting off. This book will delight the legions of fans of the Broadgate Bay series of novels, and introduce new readers to the wonderful world of McKnits. Is it possible to knit yourself a new life? Jo is certainly giving it a go.
