Four lives knit together…

There’s just a little store on Blossom Street in Seattle called A Good Yarn. You go there to get knitting materials and patterns — and now it’s offering a knitting class. The first lesson: how exactly to knit a baby blanket.

For owner Lydia Hoffman, the shop represents her dream of beginning a fresh existence free from the cancer which has ravaged her twice. A life that offers a chance at love … and perhaps marriage.

Jacqueline Donovan is stuck in a marriage that has dwindled into an about The Store on Blossom Road arrangement of separate rooms and separate lives. She disapproves of the girl married to her only son, but if she knits a baby blanket, she can at least pretend to like her pregnant daughter-in-law.

For Carol Girard, the infant blanket brings a note of hope as she and her husband make your final attempt at in vitro pregnancy.

And tense-looking Alix Townsend — that’s Alix with an ‘i’ — is learning to knit her blanket for her court-ordered community services project.

Brought jointly by an age-old craft, these four women produce unexpected discoveries — about themselves and one another. Discoveries that result in love, to friendship and acceptance, to laughter and dreams.
