This is the story of Jo who has 3 kids....and a knitting/yarn shop in a small (big surprise) seaside town in England. She has a famous best friend, a gran who does everything, and a lukewarm boyfriend(??). All goes well, there really is no story, just her day to day life....kind of written in a non stop form of "whatever slipped into my thoughts as I was typing"...slipping from topic to topic with no warning or connection.

Pearlie's actual Daddy, who Jo won't marry because he's not dependable, and she already married a serial cheater, thanks anyhow. Jo won't take his money in child-support (he's quite wealthy) because as soon as she becomes dependent on it, the money will disappear. Maybe. Jo doesn't trust daddies very much. He claims he set up a trust fund with monthly donations instead, for when Pearl grows up. Maybe. There's no direct proof in-story, so who knows. As I enjoyed the first 2 books in the series very much, I expected to be just as happy with this one. Sadly, this is not the case. There didn't seem to be any actual plot to this one, and no additional development for any of the very interesting characters in the other books. Connie, Ellen, and Gran were all great characters that were just relegated to bit parts in this book.

Apart from Jo, there are two major problems with this book - narrative and style. Nothing actually happens in this book. There is no drama, development, character growth, events - nothing. The characters are the same at the end of the book as they are in the start, except some of them have had a baby (thanks to Jo - without her advice clearly the babies would have fallen out or vanished or something). The problem with that is without some sort of impetus propelling the narrative, what you are left with is, well, a laundry list of what each of the characters did in the ten months the book covers. Stylistically, that's how the books written - episodes recounted first hand by Jo as they happen to her. Writing a novel like this not only alienates us from identifying with any character other than Jo, it means that all other characters stay firmly one directional. I can see the logic behind this book - 'Let's write a book that shows the real life of mothers - how busy and tired they are. Let's break with convention and not make a plot- or character-driven narrative, because people's lives don't work like that in real life. Let's not answer all the questions or pair up all the characters, because in real life not all questions are answered and every life doesn't end with everyone married.' The problem is, if I wanted to hear about how tired mothers are all the time I'd ring up some of my friends with kids and if I wanted unresolved narratives and non-traditional endings I'd watch an arthouse film.

To work this stitch pattern, you can have either an even or odd number of stitches on your knitting needle. If you have an even number of stitches, the 1×1 ribbing pattern is super simple, because every row, whether you are on the right side or wrong side of your work, is the same. For an even number of cast on stitches, simply follow the pattern *K1 P1* for odd numbered rows and *P1 K1* for even numbered rows. For an odd number of stitches, you will repeat *K1 P1* but end each row with another K1. Repeat this pattern on all of your rows. You should be knitting into purl stitches and purling into knit stitches.

Knit One Purl Two Pattern: This is a very simple knitting pattern that uses one stitch for every two rows/rounds. Here is how to do it on US terms: Connie, her Italian friend is pregnant and Mark (Connie's husband) is Mr. Perfect. He knows how to cook and he patiently takes all the pregnancy crabbiness his wife can dish out. Connie's family has also been sending up young girls to learn the language. Cinzia has been helping out as a part-time Nanny for Jo. She is very beautiful and stirs up some mild trouble wherever she goes. Cinzia isn't a central character, but she does add some sizzle. One of the patterns that is easy to learn and use is knit 1 purl 2. It is a simple pattern with just two rows and only one yarn over. This pattern creates a ribbed fabric that can be used in many different ways.

Knitting is coding. It starts with a stream of input. You take the input, perform an operation on it according to a set of instructions, and store the output. You then perform an operation to combine the raw input and stored information, and store that new information, and so on.
