1507578 Okay, its not a mystery, but it's a great book! Has anyone read Knitting A Novel by Anne Bartlett? I'm currently listening to this one on audio. I've heard the beginning many times, but haven't gotten to the end for one reason or another. But I've convinced my car pool buddy that we needed to listen. She's also enjoying the book. I love the way the author has woven knitting into the story.... I'd love to talk about this book if anyone is interested.

1507578 I just finished another great novel that's knitting related. It's called Casting Off by Nicole R. Dickson. There is little (or no) actual knitting in the novel, but it focuses on the importance of knit sweaters in the small Island off the coast of Ireland, the meaning of stitches and patterns, the culture in relation to these sweaters.... all in relation to the story being told. I thought it was an amazing book and would highly recommend it!

BTW, I changed the name of the thread to open it up.
