See, one of the characters is fat on the cover.

Ever have problems with your printer? Clara gets mad when she sends a yarn label from her computer to her printer four times and “absolutely diddly-fuck had happened.” I laughed so hard! The swear was unexpected, and she was so frustrated with technology (haven’t we all been there?) that it was perfect. I’ve always been an advocate for a well-placed swear. There is very little swearing in this novella. Later that night, she dreams about “Cinnamon Blade defeating villains with an eggbeater.” I like that there are other aspects of her life, not just knitting. For instance, Clara loves a fan fiction blog with a character named Cinnamon Blade. The dialogue is sharp, some of the best I’ve read in a while, and the characters’ lives are funny because they’re realistic. Two words come to mind when I describe Knit One, Girl Two: witty and funny. When Clara wakes up with over 300 orders - all of which she’ll have to dye and assemble in her kitchen - she’s not sure what to do.

What Clara doesn’t know is that Danielle has a famous uncle who Tweets about Clara’s yarn-of-the-month subscription. They agree that Clara can use Danielle’s color scheme to create a theme for the upcoming month’s box: socks. When she sees paintings inspired by the Florida setting, she insists on meeting the artist to propose borrowing the color palate for part of the profit.ĭanielle, the painter, is excited that her work has inspired another artist. They have several types of subscriptions, including monthly sock boxes.Ĭlara has had some success with her yearly yarn boxes before and is on the hunt for inspiration so she can try it again. Basically, they just use the yarn and the pattern that comes with it no matter what’s in there. Some people do a yarn of the month and know what’s in the crate, while others get a surprise box every month for a year. I actually know what these are because I had a friend who did the same thing. Both are adult women in their twenties, but I think young adults would enjoy the story, too.Ĭlara is yarn dyer who creates subscriptions. Knit One, Girl Two is a fluffy, romantic novella (or maybe a LONG short story?) by Shira Glassman about an painter and a yarn dyer who collaborate on a project and start feel butterflies.
