Two mystery authors are writing series with knitters as the

Maggie Seftonhttp://www.maggiesefton.com/hasa young woman who has
been working on the East Coast but inherits her aunt's property, right
next to a LYS; she is soon learning to knit herself. Three books so
far.
Mary Kruger has a long-time East Coast knitter getting surprised when
someone is killed. Two books so far.

Has anyone checked out the mystery novels by Monica Ferris? The
heroine is a middle aged woman who inherits her sister's needlework
shop and seems to have a gift for solving crimes. I love her
supporting characters, especially Godwin DuLac, her store manager. I
just love gay men and he is a doll. Fun reads. There are about 10
books in the series so far.

She used to write on RCTN , and i bought 3 books [ WONDERFUL] out of
her serie , but i couldn`t afford to order more ,,, maybe now that the
$ is sinkning i could ,,,
She writes well ,,,

Miss Marple definitely knitted. Several times she was described as
knitting something pink and fluffy.
I don't know Miss Silver.
I enjoyed what I have read of Monica Ferris.

Higs,

I have also read a book about a Lauta Musician, sent from England to
Play in Norvegia or Sweden [ sorry forgot] and the queen who likes to
knit , but since it is considered dangerous for women , takes a boat
to an Island in the middle of as lake so that she can kn it in
peace ,,,,,

What I'd love to read, and I don't even know if this exists, is a book about
a knitting detective that actually has a knitting pattern or two in it.
There are novels with recipes in them, why not patterns?

Maggie Sefton's knitting mysteries have a pattern in them but they are very
simple patterns. Her writing isn't all that great either. If you're
interested, look for a library copy rather than buying any.

Thank you! I will.

Simple seems to be all I can handle right now. I need to get back into
knitting. My brain has forgotten how to think in stitches and patterns.

if I can find one.

Joan Hickson who played Miss Marple in the BBC series was a knitter,
and knitted on screen in several of the shows.

I think she was the only actress to play Miss Marple who had the
right body type, too (thin enough to hide in a broom closet).

But did she ever finish a garment in a film, or was it always just
anonymous shapeless stuff?

From film to film i hope to see SOMETHING shaped ,,,,,,, nada ,,,
Very unthinking of the Director ..
