Knit One, Girl Two is artistically rich and features more than one brand of artistic endeavor. Clara is not only a knitter, but an indie dyer, looking all around her for inspiration for her next yarn line. Danielle also sees the beauty around herself in Southern Florida, translating these sights into paintings which inevitably inspire Clara.

Painters are hard workers and I've seen many styles portrayed in fiction, ranging from oil paintings to grafitti. Knitters don't seem to get as much attention and seeing Clara featured, as well as her other crafty friends, brought new joy to my reading experience in 2017.

Aside from the artwork displayed by both Clara and Danielle, there's a sweet romance that develops between them. Starting as a business relationship, it has the right balance between slow burn and instalove. Their interests aren't stagnant, either, so we get to see other things they like, such as films. Both of them being Jewish also had an impact on the story and while the book didn't have to teach me something about their Jewish faith, I found it neat to learn about a few aspects of it.

Things were a bit shorter than I would have liked, but within those pages the author told a complete, thoughtful story about Clara and Danielle. It was a pleasure to read this book, brief as it was. Seeing my craft (I do love knitting and new color lines are always inspiring) on the page in a recent, LGBT+ friendly novella was so good and I hope to read more by Shira Glassman, especially if Clara and Danielle make an appearance!
