Is knitting cool again.....

Is it just me or are there alot of books being written where knitters or knitting groups are the main characters?

I found this book while looking through a discount store on Saturday. I like to knit and have recently read a couple of books where knitting was the activity that drew the characters together. All very good reads.

I was surprised that my $2.99 purhase has turned out to be a good read as well .....and it has made me think about digging out the knitting needles again. Hmmmmm, what to knit, what to knit?
