The Story
Part 2 of Unraveling: The Last Stitch by author C. Jane Reid.
A father Lysandra Blair didn’t know she had… A father Lee Emery never met… Two mothers keeping secrets to protect their children… What mystery from the past ties them together? What consequences for discovering the answer will both of them face? This was the final chapter of the Donaghue Histories, ending a 300 year saga that started with our first Club in 2015.
We’ll be exploring a new world of 1920s Mystery short stories starting in the 2021 Kits!
The Design
A cross between a cowl and a shawl that will warm both your neck and shoulders. Worked in half double crochets through the back loop only, the showl starts with a long rectangle. Then a shoulder is worked up each end, with a literal twist that wraps across the front before joining in the back and working the two shoulders together decreasing to one point in the back. Single crochets worked around the bottom edge includes a seam joining it all together.
The Yarn
This kit featured 616 yards of Targhee Worsted hand-dyed yarn by Blue Moon Fiber Arts. This giant 8.5 oz skein of 100% Targhee wool yarn comes in tonal shades of either Green Wing (bluish green) or True Blood Red (deep scarlet). The photos don’t quite capture these gorgeous deep tones which will vary as with all hand-dyed yarns.
The Accessory
In addition to a Handmade Reindeer Holiday Card made with a Tagua Nut Button that can be used to finish the Showl project, this kit also included a sneak peek at the New Short Stories by C. Jane Reid that will be included in our 2021 kits with an introduction to the characters in her Lola Rose 1920s mystery series.
Hand-dyed Bags
We can’t forget the muslin project bags hand-dyed by our old neighbor Erica of In The Deep Hue Sea, and hand-stamped by our very own Cecillie who fills many of the behind the scenes rolls to keep Ficstitches Yarns running smoothly.
