The Beach Street Knitting Society series by Gil McNeil centers on a knitting group in a British seaside town. The first book, The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club (2007, also known as Diva’s Don’t Knit), introduces the community that gathers around knitting and the friendships that form. Needles and Pearls (2008) and Knit One Pearl One (2011) continue the story.
The series blends domestic fiction with the social world of a craft community. Knitting is the thread that connects the characters, but the books are really about motherhood, loss, new beginnings, and building a life in a small town. Readers who enjoy cozy stories about women finding their way will appreciate these books.
