How could she not be a nice person?

She's a knitter, a foodie, a writer and she loves dogs. No, not me, this one's a famous writer. Kate Jacobs read from her sequel to the Friday Night Knitting Club at the CBC Radio Studio One Book Club:

Amazing! At 35 she's sold over a million copies of her first book, was on the New York Times best seller list and sold the story to Universal Pictures for a movie starring Julia Roberts. Originally from tiny Hope, British Columbia, this is a case of small town girl makes good. She very sweetly credited her grade eight English teacher as her inspiration.

And you know what? I wasn't even a fan of the first book, but meeting her, and hearing her story, although the book is not exactly my style, she won me over. She's a seriously nice person:

    I was not a fan of her first book, thought I loved the premise. I am a fan of the Studio One Book Club, though. What a great opportunity! Lucky you. Was everyone knitting?

    I haven’t read it, but it is always fun to meet a real live author. You wore the perfect accessories for the event!

    I liked the first book, although not as much as others. But enough to check the second out of the library. And yes, you are dressed very appropriately!

    Your experience reinforces my belief that knitters are nice people.

    What a coincidence. I just stopped by to view your blog after you left a comment on mine. My daughter just finished reading this book and passed it onto me on Tuesday.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I just love the CTH sock yarn. I bought several more skeins of this yarn along with two skeins Orenberg lace yarn at the yearly close out sale earlier this month at Discontinued Yarns (.com). I already have several patterns that would suit these yarn, but I keep finding more at Raverly. Decisions.

    I haven’t read the first book yet, but downloaded the second one from the library the other day. I look forward to listening to it soon.

    I would love the patterns for Herringbone Rib Scarf and Rosebud Scarf, if that’s possible. I just love everything of yours that I see.
    Thank you.
