Knitting Book

Trying to find a book, knitting fiction?
I read a book a few years ago, about an American girl who comes to London for a holiday/dirty working trip with her boss, he ends up working loads and she starts going sight seeing in London. She finds a little knitting shop run by an old woman, and they begin knitting classes.
That's all I can remember but if you've read it you'd recognise it from that I'm sure.
It's driving me nuts what this book is, so this is the last place I'll try.
I've posted this in books as well as hobbies.
TIA, Me
you might go to http://www.bellaonline.com/Channel/c5.asp and ask on one of the books forums.
but warning!! bellaonline.com does not like Yahoo addresses. Must use some other address to participate in the forums. They consider Yahoo to be a major spam generator.
the book sounds like one I would love to read.

My Sister Who Does not Knit
I have a sister who does not knit, does not crochet, has no idea what freeform is, nor has she shown any interest in ANY form of needlework. SHE has a sister who along with a life long love affair with yarns has an online yarn business that sells to fiber addicts worldwide. I recently told her about a treasured customer who had just purchased 4 skeins of Great Adirondack's Pashmina Serengetti at $87 a hank. This just happens to be, in my humble opinion, the most luxurious yarn we've ever stocked in almost eight years of business. Who wouldn't want all that beauty? This is a hand dyed, American made luxury fiber not many knitters get to experience. Her reaction was " you mean to tell me someone spent $348 and then has to make a garment?" " For that much money, I want it made and wrapped with a bow," she told me. How sad I thought. She'll never experience the creative joy of making a potential heirloom to be passed from one generation to the next. I doubt she will ever know the sense of wonderment that 10 fingers, a ball of string, 2 sticks and a healthy dose of imagination will produce. "Just one more row," will never come from her lips, nor will she drive the family crazy looking for her missing needle. She will never brag about her knitter's stash and how she won't live long enough to use up all the yarn she has. Imagine,my sister will never know the fun of opening a new bag of yarn and savoring the richness in the colors and textures. I will have to accept the idea that she'll never experience the adrenaline rush I feel touching a velvety, super soft yarn. I'll have to accept the fact that she'll never call me to say her head is spinning with ideas, and when can I come over to help. Well, there's always hope. ------------------
