I may aswell come completely out of the closet! I do enjoy reading 'Knitting Fiction'.
There I have said it! My favourites are the Maggie Sefton 'Knitting Mysteries'. In the winter I went through a spell of getting cosey and reading until I nodded off. The titles of the books themselves are great.
I won't be solving any mysteries but I do like Cinnamon Rolls, coffee and 'Yarn Stores'.

To go to sleep with a head full of knitting, Yarn stores, Alpaca farms, sheep shearing and fleece, spinning etc is the thing that dreams are made of. I don't like anything scary or gruesome so these mysteries are about as hardcore as I get. I think there are eight in the series. Each book contains recipes and knitting patterns at the back too. The main character 'Kelly' spends a great deal of her time either in the Yarn Store or the Coffee shop, when she isn't solving mysteries. In one book she was drinking 'Gingerbread Coffee' and in every book she eats 'Cinnamon Rolls'. I tracked down a place in town that served 'Gingerbread' flavoured coffee so I did a 'Kelly' and treated myself. It was delicious. Then last week I found this recipe...At Sheep Spinach and Strawberries a blog about
"Food, Farm and Fiber -raising, growing, cooking, sharing". I love this blog and today tried my version of this recipe. I didn't have Craisins but I used sultanas and Walnuts. Both of my Son's sampled when the rolls were still warm and when I asked for marks out of ten, the youngest said '100 out of infinity' I think that means he liked it.
