Knitting in fiction by guest blogger Annie


Knitting in fiction by guest blogger Annie

Over the weekend I had the chance to catch up on my reading. I picked up A Fatal Fleece    by Sally Goldenbaum at the library. I had never heard of this author but I liked the cover and needed something to simply escape into so I took a chance. I really enjoyed the book which tells the story of a group of knitters and their loved ones in a small seaside town. The knitters become amateur sleuths when a local legend is found murdered in his yard. I was able for a few hours to just immerse myself in the cast of characters and forget my troubles, which to me is the sign of a good read. What I didn’t know when I selected this novel is that it is the 5th in a series so I’m now anxious to see what other adventures the group undertakes. 

Do you have a favorite novel with knitting in it? I know many knitters have switched entirely to audio books and I enjoy them very much. Sometimes I just like the feel of book as I sit curled up in my chair, especially on a nice rainy weekend.
