KNITTING BOOK CLUB

We met Monday evening with completed washcloths, current knitting and crocheting projects and Jane Austen's Persuasion. What a delightful hour. Leslie is a wonderful leader who is always prepared to help us get the most out of any book, especially Jane Austen's novels.

Persuasion is Rebecca's favorite, she re-reads it every year. David was a first-time reader and didn't particularly like the book. We beat him up gently! I love this one with it's mature and believable characters.

Our selection for August/September is Sense and Sensibility . This is a long book, so we decided to divide it into two parts: August will cover the novel until the sisters go to London; September will cover the remainder of the novel.

We've begun no new knitting projects. (I, the novice knitter, will continue to knit washcloths until I run out of yarn!) Leslie and Rebecca are knitting socks, David a scarf, and Bobbie is crocheting a top. What are your currently knitting?

Please join us for the discussion of Sense and Sensibility, Part I, on August 10th at 7:00 p.m. in the B&N Cafe.
