The Secret Stitch by C. Jane Reid is an exciting hard to put down historical (fiction) novel.  Knitting is not the focus of this great novel, but is a great companion for the character as she is learning a new useful skill.  This great book “The Secret Stitch: Unraveling the New World” by C. Jane Reid and “The Secret Stitch A Crochet Companion” by Laurinda Reddig, will make great additions for a Holiday Spa Basket.

 

Be sure to check out the Book Review that Pia @ Stitches ‘N’ Scraps did over both books!
