Knit the Season, by Kate Jacobs
Knit the Season by Kate Jacobs
G.P. Putnam's Sons ISBN 978-0-399-15638-0
pg 89
First sentence on the page is a fragment. Should be more like, "...she hesitated, freshly aware..."
pg 134
last paragraph on the page does not have a transition from her being in the front room with them, to "flopped down on her bed." It's as if her bed is in the living room.
pg 197
marked the page that there was a mistake, but can't find it now.

pg 7
framing hammer... the kind with a long wooden handle
Framing hammers generally have a steel or fiberglass handle. Ball-peen hammers and mauls have wooden handles.
pg 77
He had on engineer's boots
they are called engineer boots. No possessive.
pg 159
"He at home?"
Farrell shook his head.
"Hospice," he said.
I assume Farrel shook his head no, but hospice is generally at home.
pg 189
...its wake a glassy furrow in the surface.
on the surface
..the trees, half unleaved, made spectral...
unleafed
pg 249
dog...jumped up on the couch... lay down between us.
Only Spenser is seated on the couch. Jefferson remained standing (see page 248).

pg 27
"But its important that they don't coincide."
"its" is a contraction of "it is" and needs an apostrophe.
pg 50
"On the other hand," I said "people don't report gunfire anyway."
should be a comma after "said."

"You want me to come by and iron yours shirts, too?"

pg 104
"She knows, of course, and they remain friends, with a, necessarily, open marriage."
at least one too many commas.
pg 117
"Well, I guess I'd answer why would I be unmonogamous."
"why would I be monogamous." He's arguing against monogamy.
pg 137
"but in the circumstance, I was not at my most analytic."
"under the circumstances," unless he's trying to show she's somewhat illiterate?
pg 152
...still nodding to whatever music he was hearing in the spheres
what spheres?
pg 216
In the month she graduated from Tarbridge High School, she married a guy name Boley LaBonte, and divorced him a year later.
first, "in" is superfluous. "The month she graduated" is fine.
second, typo: should be "a guy named" not "a guy name"
pg 217
Up a hill past the red light
this is dialect, but not New England dialect. "past the traffic light," "past the light"
