The Friday Night Knitting Club (by Kate Jacobs)

THE FRIDAY NIGHT KNITTING CLUB by Kate Jacobs (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Kate Jacobs breezy first novel reads like Steel Magnolias set in Manhattan.” (USA Today)

At Walker & Daughter, Georgia Walker’s little yarn shop, the Friday Night Knitting Club gathers every week to work on their latest projects and to chat over their stories of love, life, and everything in between. When the unthinkable happens, they realize what they’ve created—not just a knitting club, but a sisterhood.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s narrator, Carrington MacDuffie. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

Walker & Daughter is Georgia Walker’s little yarn shop, tucked into a quiet storefront on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The Friday Night Knitting Club is improvised by some of Georgia’s regulars, who stroll into the shop looking for tips on knitting and end up finding much, much more. So now, once a week, they gather to work on their latest projects and to chat—and occasionally clash—over their stories of love, life, and everything in between.

However, unexpected changes soon throw these women’s lives into disarray, and the shop’s comfortable world gets shaken up like a snow globe. When the unthinkable happens, they realize what they’ve created—not just a knitting club, but a sisterhood.
