Stockings and Spells
Stockings and Spells | Nancy Warren
15 posts | 15 read | 10 to read
The Vampire Knitting Club decide to take part in Oxfords Holiday Market, selling exquisite hand knit scarves, sweaters and gift items. Their most popular item is the hand knit Christmas stocking, brightly colored and extra long to squeeze in a few extra small gifts. But when a sales clerk in another booth is found strangled with one of the stockings, Lucy Swift and her undead detectives are on the case, determined to find out who would do such a terrible thing. And why. In the meantime, Lucys working hard at her spell book, learning to be a witch, with the help of her black cat familiar and her new assistant. Meritanum is a three thousand year old Egyptian witch and shes having trouble with some of the concepts of modern life, such as traffic, Smart Phones and anything powered by electricity. Life at Cardinal Woolseys knitting shop, in Oxford, England, is as colorful as the most garish Christmas sweater.

Mehso-so

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did. It fell flat for me. I think it may be that I just don‘t like the “centuries old vampire in love with a young woman” trope and I hate the reluctant witch trope. If I had powers I‘d be all over that. Like in The Change..
What I did like - the vampire knitters, the story of a possibly stolen Lord of the Rings type manuscript. I may give the next one a try before bailing on the series.

Another installment of the fun Vampire Knitting Club series. This one, set at an Oxford Christmas market, had fewer supernatural elements than the previous ones, but featured a good mystery.

This filled prompt 3 of #CloakandDaggerChristmas! @Ruthiella

CatLass007 I‘ve seen these on Audible and I know some “crafty” cozies feature recipes or patterns. I‘m curious if it‘s true of this series. 4mo

Usually I'm not a fan of longer series but in this case I'm glad it is! I think I'll make it through more than expected this month because it's one of those where i just end up reading in one or two sittings.

Here's how I've spent my evening. I've been snuggled up with Fancy working on a project while listening to Stockings and Spells (Vampire Knitting Club #4) by Nancy Warren. I've still got 2 more parts of this to catch up on and it's still cold so I foresee this being the majority of my weekend 🤣

sprainedbrain Omg I love that! If only I had some semblance of skill. 😬 2y
RedxoHearts So cute! I love to crochet but haven't been able to pick up knitting at all 2y
StaceGhost @sprainedbrain Aw thanks! And I‘ve only been knitting for a few years so I‘m still a beginner 😅this is a good beginner project I think! 2y
StaceGhost @RedxoHearts that‘s so funny! It‘s the reverse for me. Knitting came easily but I struggle learning the different crochet stitches. They are definitely different, though related, crafts! 2y

I actually enjoyed this one much more although the mystery is still obvious. But still, the descriptions of the holiday market was cozy and I liked that the plot involved books and authorship. Plus, the knitting and soap descriptions were fun. 26 pts #WinterGames2020 #MerryReaders #HolidayRead

A great holiday book in this fun cozy series! The vampire knitting club goes all out to create knitted goods to sell at a Holiday market, and Lucy makes friends with a soap maker named Gemma. There's a bookish mystery, murder, and attacks- once again Lucy jumps into the fray (and into some wild conclusions), and it's all merry mayhem.
