Knitting and lifestyle. They’re both about beginnings – and endings. That’s why it seems sensible for Lydia Goetz, owner of A Good Yarn on Seattle’s Blossom Street, to provide a class known as Knit to give up. It’s for those who want to quit something – or someone! – and begin a new stage of their lives. First to become listed on can be Phoebe Rylander. She lately finished her engagement to a guy who doesn’t know this is of faithful, and she’s trying to get over him. Then there’s Alix Turner. She and her hubby, Jordan, about Summertime on Blossom Road want a baby, which means she has to quit smoking cigarettes. And Bryan Hutchinson joins the course because he needs a way to deal with the stress of working his family’s business – not forgetting the lawsuit brought against him by an unscrupulous lawyer. Life can be as complicated like a knitting design. Just talk to Anne Marie Roche. She and her followed girl, Ellen, finally have the happiness they wished for. And then a stranger involves her bookstore requesting questions. Or consult Lydia herself. Not only is she coping with her more and more frail mom, but she and Brad have unexpectedly become foster parents to an angry, defiant twelve-year-old. But simply because Lydia already knows, when life gets difficult and your stitches are snarled, friends and family can always help!
