So good.

So adorable. So honest and at times raw. So healing.

This is a short-but-Very-sweet novelette about precious, creative, clever girls growing closer and bonding over art, yarn nerdery, and healing past traumas. So, like, everything I love in a book, even if I don't know the first thing about yarn or yarn accessories - but the writer clearly does/has done the research. And the romance is so good that even the yarn-uninitiated like me can get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

The narration is light and quick, and the interactions are natural and endearing, with the whole thing paced so well that you could probably get through this in an hour or so even if it were longer. (I did in one sitting, wasn't able to stop.) Also, there is a tuxedo cat named after the Phantom of the Opera, so 5 stars are basically assured here. And the title is a pun. I had no chance.

Highly recommended. So very much. If you want a little bit of warmth, catharsis, and a lot of warm fuzzies, please pick this up. It feels like a sweater right out of the dryer, knit with a lot of love.

Lovely short, romantic story! I could really feel the character's connection to each other, and the main character's inner dialogue was sweet and funny. A really great pick-me-up book, or an introduction to f/f romance!

This was sweet! I enjoyed it but there was really not much to it. I know it’s technically a novella (right?) but I think it was way too short to get a sense of anything. Regardless, I’m still giving it 3 stars because YAY KNITTING!!! The writing was decent too. This would be so great as a full length book!

3/5
After two years of being in my tbr list i finally read it!!
I don't have much to say but it was lovely and short.

Although, honestly i didn't understand half the things the characters talked nor the jokes they made
