The Knitting Circle by Ann Hood

A small group of people meet at a local knitting shop. They learn to knit and purl and make scarves, hats, and sweaters. But this story is about so much more than knitting.

It is a story the deals with losses head-on and how to get past them. It unites people who have suffered and who need to have something that allows them to deal with their grief in an unthreatening environment and learn to knit in the process.

Mary Baxter, mother of Stella, has lost her child to meningitis. She must cope with life and all the “anniversaries” following Stella’s death. The Knitting Circle is a story of hope and survival amidst the tragedies of life.
