I loved the progression of this book, from feelings of cold and isolation, to warmth, family, and community. The idea of the magic is intriguing—left to the eye of the beholder, or the believer as it were. Descriptions of the Stitchery made it a character in and of itself, and the neighborhood of Tappan Square, while dilapidated, sounds charming and eclectic. It was wonderful to see the progression of the three sisters; I didn't care for either Bitty or Meggie to begin with, but towards the end I'd warmed up to them, and wanted them both to come to a good place. Aubrey finds herself apart from her roots, while still managing to stay grounded with them, discovering her strength and even her womanhood. Good story, well paced, and with a little romance. I'd definitely recommend it. I had high hopes for this book but I just found it boring. I thought the Van Ripper women were shallow and confusing. I liked the thought of having women who could knit people's wishes into the scarves and mittens but it just seemed to fall short. I don't even think I have a favorite character...Aubrey, Bitty and Meggie are sisters who live in a cool old house but someone needs to weave a spell for them!
What do You think about Wishing Thread (2014)?
Meh. This book tried to be like Sarah Addison Allen's books but just couldn't get there.

Just didn't get there for me... a little to contrived chick fic.

This was ok, not as good as I would have hoped.
