Summary: “The Black Sheep Knitters are initially amused by the antics of the Knit Kats, a local knitting graffiti group that applies its stitching to public protest. Like covering the new parking meters along Main Street with knitted hoods that have silly cat faces. The amusing act of civil disobedience causes a stir in quiet Plum Harbor. But it’s not the first time the Knit Kats have made local news. . . . The Black Sheep know about killers, who always leave behind a tell-tale thread. With clever detection skills and their own, irrepressible curiosity, Maggie and the knitting friends soon uncover the truth about the Knit Kats — and snag the guilty stitcher.”— Provided by publisher.
