Well I have started out 2024 pretty well.
I completed this shawl that I found while unpacking boxes. I have no idea when I started it, but it is completed now…except for hiding the yarn joins. I am keeping this one for me.
This is a cozy murder mystery where the heroine is a cookie shop owner. I found it easy reading and liked the character development. This book also had a novella in the back that was a quick 111 page read.
The other thing that I really enjoyed is that there were recipes sprinkled throughout the book. I copied several of them to try before Christmas so that I may be able to put more variety into my cookie tin gifts for friends and family.
The librarian at my local library said that she has a friend that has read the series and made several recipes. It seems that she was happy with the results.
This was the first book I read, all in one day. The writing style was very enjoyable. It is about a group of women that knit at a church and how they are going through struggles and try to help each other.
There were a lot of characters to keep track of and in the beginning I had a little bit of trouble keeping them all straight….but it all worked out.
There was a knitted shawl pattern included in the book that seemed to be good for beginners and/or more experienced stitchers that want a “mindless” project.
I would definitely recommend both books.
I have taken out two other books from the library and started an audiobook so there should be more reviews soon.
Take care,
Sherry
