We’ve already looked at the many, MANY knitting murder mysteries, and even some non-fiction knitting books.

This week let’s get into the holiday spirit with some Christmas themed knitting stories.

Christmas at the Little Knitting Box by Helen Rolfe

What’s it about?

The Little Knitting Box has been in Cleo’s family for nearly four decades, and Cleo’s to manage for four years - ever since she arrived in New York, fresh off the plane from the Cotswolds. But instead of an early Christmas card in the mail this year, she gets a letter that tips her world on its axis. New York was supposed to be her second chance, do people get third chances?

When the snow starts to fall, Cleo meets Dylan and realizes life is rarely black and white. Now both have choices to make. Will Dylan follow his heart or his head? And will Cleo ever allow herself to be a part of another family when her own fell apart at the seams?

The Great Christmas Knit-Off by Alexandra Brown

What’s it about?

When life unravels, it’s time to knit…

Sybil has always taken comfort in her passion for knitting, but her world suddenly unravels when her fiancé ditches her for her identical twin sister.

Hoping to escape her woes and forget that she’ll be alone for Christmas this year, she visits her friend in Tindledale—a winter wonderland of quaint shops and snowy rooftops. When she arrives in the idyllic town, she can’t help feeling like she’s in a Hallmark greeting card. When the vintage boutique asks her to make an assortment of knits for their display window, she’s thrilled. The hot town doctor has even taken an interest in Sybil, hoping to heal her broken heart.

But just when Sybil thinks she’s going to have her fairytale Christmas after all, an unexpected turn of events threatens to unspool her happily ever after.
