To the clack of their knitting needles, Scottie,Amanda, Bella, and Tay are fast becoming a circle of friends. For these girls—who couldn’t be further apart on their elite high school’s social spectrum—it’s hard to say which is a more surprising development: their new friendship or their sudden yen for yarn. Chicks with Sticks weaves together knitting terms and lore, cool projects and patterns, and timeless themes of friendship and self-discovery. Fans of the bestselling Stitch ’n Bitch, Teen Knitting Club, and fiction like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants will find this a pattern-perfect offering for teens, knitting and book clubs, and giftgiving moms and grandmas.
