Yarn Over Yonder: A Cozy Craft & Hobby Mystery (Junie Harper Craft Mysteries)
The annual Millbrook Pop-Up Craft Fair should be the highlight of Junie Harper's year.
Her booth is ready, her wreath kits are selling fast, and the fair is driving traffic to Harper's Handycrafts just like it does every summer. But when fair organizer Clara Whitting is found dead behind a wall of yarn displays, and her private ledger of vendor secrets goes missing, Junie is pulled into an investigation that threatens everything she's built.
With vendors feuding over booth placements, whispered side deals surfacing from the shadows, and her best friend Nora caught in the crosshairs of suspicion, Junie must decode a trail of booth swaps, color-coded tags, and hidden financial arrangements to unmask a killer hiding among the craft community she loves.
But someone doesn't want the truth to come out. And they're willing to do more than cut a few threads to keep it buried.
YARN OVER YONDER is the second book in The Junie Harper Craft Mysteries, warm, witty cozy mysteries where hands-on hobbies become investigative tools. Perfect for fans of Jenn McKinlay, Ellery Adams, and Paige Shelton.
Can be read as a standalone, but is best enjoyed as part of the series.
From our library hobby class :
We have classes on crochet, knitting and needle work.
EASY KNIT DISHCLOTH:
Instructions: Cast on 4 stitches Row 1: Knit 4 Row 2: Knit 2, yarn over, knit across the row. Repeat Row 2 until you have 48 stitches on the needle. Row 3: Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to the end of the row. Repeat Row 3 until you have 4 stitches left on the needle. Cut your yarn leaving several inches.
Slide those last 4 stitches onto a crochet hook and loop the tail and last stitches one through the next as shown in the pics below. Pull tight to secure.
It's time for more kids crafts and books for September...
Sunflower craft with paper plates
The flower is from a paper plate and the middle is made from seeds.
After painting the white paper plate yellow, let dry. Then cut with scissors around edges to make petals. Then add glue to center and add sunflower seeds for a sensory feel. Add stem with a green painted paper towel roll.
Happy September everyone ... we are in the ber months. The best months of the year. Im hoping September will be a little cooler here so I can get outside and do more. What's on your September bucket list?
Ww Had Rain.... after being so hot here in Louisiana the rain was a blessing. And my family that are farmers here in town it came at a great time.
2My son finished his first month of teaching: he was blessed to be able to teach local in a great school
3. We had to have our car fixed: it was minor, and was fixed locally by our mechanic . Hes a blessing and very reasonable prices
4 Library time : As usual my time at the library is busy but so uplifting. We are a small community and out local library is a big part of it. We vote here, have community meetings and food drivers.
5 Thrift Shopping : I am a big fan of thrift shopping. And any time I can take a trip to go thrift shopping it makes my week. I use lots of thrifted items in my craft projects.
