Morning Swooners :-)

Expected release date: March 24, 2015
Purchase: Amazon / Barnes and Noble
Summary from Goodreads:
I just think it sounds really interesting and original. I don't read many books with boys as the MC so this stands out to me. Plus the fact that it's about knitting. I must have been a knitting queen in a past life because i'm pretty obsessed about it. Even though i've actually never tried to do it lol.
What are you anxiously waiting for?
Knitting is a man’s game.
After an incident regarding a crossing guard and a bottle of Martini & Rossi (and his bonehead friends), 17-year-old worrier Ben Fletcher must develop his sense of social alignment, take up a hobby, and do some community service to avoid any further probation.
He takes a knitting class (it was that or his father’s mechanic class) under the impression that it's taught by the hot teacher all the boys like. Turns out, it’s not. Perfect.
Regardless, he sticks with it and comes to find that he’s a natural knitter, maybe even great. It even helps ease his anxiety and worrying. The only challenge now is to keep it hidden from his friends, his crush, and his soccer-obsessed father. What a tangled web Ben has weaved . . . or knitted.
