I don&#8217;t knit but I did as a child. For years I supplied everyone in my family with their too-bulky, too-long, too-heavy knit scarves. I do, however, crochet &gt;&gt;&gt; which is pretty similar to me. Nothing fancy, but I love to crochet.<\/p>\n<p>So this morning, I rushed to get ready, made sure I had my Kindle in tow, and drove myself to my dentist&#8217;s office. As I got back to listening to the audio book I have going in my car, I was sort of confused. Who is this character? What&#8217;s this person doing in this book? OK, I recognized needlecrafting references being talked about. OK, I knew the characters in this close-knit &#8220;village&#8221;. But good grief, what&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/Monica-Ferris.html\">Monica Ferris<\/a><\/strong>&#8216; Betsy Devonshire (who lives in Minnesota) doing in Sea Harbor, Massachusetts?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s when it dawned on me. I was currently reading two of my favorite Cozy Mystery series and they both have needlecrafting themes. I usually try to avoid this sort of thing, but I had decided I wanted to take a break from trying new-to-me authors and focus on two of my favorite Cozy Mystery authors.<\/p>\n<p>How about you? Do you read just one Cozy Mystery at a time, or do you ever have a few Cozies going simultaneously? If you do read more than one Cozy Mystery at a time, do you ever confuse their plots for just a few tiny moments, or am I the only one who does that?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I stayed up reading last night.
