Of course, reading is too time consuming and shouldn't be encouraged amongst knitters. But what if the book is about knitting? In that case the occasional reading is allowed. Especially when the book was a gift from Sinterklaas! So mrs. T ignored her knitting needles and read 'De vrijdagavond vriendinnenclub' (a.k.a. The Friday Night Knitting Club) by Kate Jacobs.
In the Dutch translation the word 'knitting' is left out the title. The publisher must have thought the word would scare away readers under 75... This tells a lot about the way knitting sometimes still is regarded in this country.
Mrs. T. 's opinion about the book: "Quite nice, but somehow the characters didn't come to live...Still I would love to see the movie too. Then I can knit while watching!"
