Hello!

I've been lurking around here for a while and I've finally decided to take the plunge. I saw the movie knits thread, and it got me thinking about my two favourite activities: knitting and reading (I'm working on a way to do both at once).

In Robertson Davies' Cornish Trilogy, the renegade monk Parlabane is always knitting long socks. Later on, one of his knitting needles is instrumental to the plot...

Has anyone else read something in which knitting is a plot device? And no I don't mean Stitch & Bitch, I mean novels!
