The Knitting Basket Blunder: A Cozy Mystery of Unraveled Clues and a Dropped Stitch Deceit: Some mistakes can be fixed... others are fatal

🧶 Knitting shop owner and yarn expert Purl Watson is hosting her weekly knitting circle when the town's most competitive knitter is found dead in her shop—smothered by a mountain of luxury yarn from her own knitting basket. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Purl notices the yarn has been deliberately tangled in a complex pattern and the victim's unfinished project contains a coded message using dropped stitches. With her shop's reputation unraveling and the knitting community in turmoil, Purl must cast on her own investigation. Assisted by her loyal knitting group and the handsome wool mill owner who supplies her yarn, Purl uncovers a scheme involving yarn substitution fraud, counterfeit luxury fibers, and a black market for rare breed wool. From suspicious dye lots that reveal chemical inconsistencies to fiber content that doesn't match the label, every skein tells a story. But when Purl discovers the victim was blackmailing fellow knitters about their yarn stash secrets and pattern plagiarism, she realizes the killer is protecting a reputation more fragile than lace weight yarn. With the annual Knit-a-Thon charity event approaching and the real culprit still weaving lies, Purl must knit together the clues before her own story gets permanently bound off.
