Do we really need the opposite sex to make our lives work? This is just one of the questions the five women in Theresa Rebeck’s Loose Knit consider as they get together weekly to knit and decompress from their hectic New York lives.

Add in Bob, Lily’s husband, and millionaire capitalist Miles and the group begins to unravel. Can the women pick up all the dropped stitches and knit their friendships back together again?
