When Beth Carruthers is invited to join a knitting circle, her first impulse is to hide under her bed. It's true her social life has shriveled lately-but could she really be in danger of turning into her chickflick- watching drone of a roommate, or forming an unhealthy attachment with a pet, like her friend Mel? OK, fine. Yarn: bring it on.Turns out learning to knit is fun, and Beth feels an instant connection to her new companions. Over red wine and flashing needles, she can be herself. She even starts dating again. But she soon learns that her new man has a secret so shocking it could end their relationship-and worse, destroy the best group of friends she's ever had.
