Pull up a chair, settle in at our welcoming big table, and join us for Yarn Shop Book Club — where literary discussion meets extremely justifiable knitting time.
Led by our own Arlene, who knows how to guide a lively conversation and appreciate a well-timed “hang on, I just need to finish this row,” this gathering is perfect for readers who like their books discussed alongside yarn, laughter, and a little creative multitasking.
This month we’re reading Good Dirt by Charmaine Wilkerson — the story of a woman who takes a spontaneous break from her everyday life and discovers what happens when she finally puts herself first. It’s thoughtful, funny, relatable, and guaranteed to spark conversation as stitches quietly multiply around the table.
Bring your knitting, crochet, or any portable fiber project — stitching during discussion isn’t just allowed, it’s practically tradition. Expect good conversation, shared opinions, gentle laughter, and the comforting rhythm of needles clicking as ideas (and projects) take shape together.
Because the best discussions happen when everyone’s hands are busy.
Discussion will be scheduled at book club meeting 5/4.
Cost includes the book and your seat around the table!
Book summary:
When ten-year-old Ebby Freeman heard the gunshot, time stopped. And when she saw her brother, Baz, lying on the floor surrounded by the shattered pieces of a centuries-old jar, life as Ebby knew it shattered as well.
The crime was never solved—and because the Freemans were one of the only Black families in a particularly well-to-do enclave of New England—the case has had an enduring, voyeuristic pull for the public. The last thing the Freemans want is another media frenzy splashing their family across the papers, but when Ebby's high profile romance falls apart without any explanation, that's exactly what they get.
So Ebby flees to France, only for her past to follow her there. And as she tries to process what's happened, she begins to think about the other loss her family suffered on that day eighteen years ago—the stoneware jar that had been in their family for generations, brought North by an enslaved ancestor. But little does she know that the handcrafted piece of pottery held more than just her family's history—it might also hold the key to unlocking her own future.
In this sweeping, evocative novel, Charmaine Wilkerson brings to life a multi-generational epic that examines how the past informs our present.
