A review of The Wishing Thread by Lisa Van Allen. Post may contain affiliate links.
I loved The Wishing Threadby Lisa Van Allen. If you are a knitter, you will especially love the book. I only knit sporadically and this book had me wanting to knit so badly (unfortunately badly is exactly how I knit).
The Wishing Thread is the story of three sisters, Bitty, Aubrey, and Meggie, but the main character is Aubrey. Aubrey lives in The Stitchery with her Aunt Mariah Van Ripple. When her aunt dies, the other sisters return. They want her to sell the Stitchery and get on with her life.
But there is magic in the Stitchery. Magic that has been passed down and Aubrey is the latest in the holder of the magic. Like her aunt before her, Aubrey can knit spells. People come asking for all sorts of things, and Aubrey can knit them up something to fulfill their desires.
This was such a delightful read and if you knit or craft or just love sweet stories with a little magic thrown in, you will love this.

It sounds like a good book. I like the dress in the picture on the front, too. When I read books like this, I always wish I were able to do whatever they do so well - like knit!
