Purls of Wisdom: Molly Learns a Lesson

In the second Molly book, we learn 7x8 and who we can appreciate. Molly’s plucky scheming streak continues when she refuses to take part in a group knitting project. Eventually, she surrenders and learns a lesson about allies and how to befriend an Alison. In our coverage, we continue to grapple with the great existential question of what it means to be a Molly, and much more. Tune in for our discussion of education in the 1940s, nationalism, and lessons not learned on this season of Bachelorette.
