KNIT TO BE TIED

Book 14 in the Knitting Mysteries

by Maggie Sefton

The New York Times bestselling author of Only Skein Deep returns as Kelly Flynn and the Lambspun knitters must come together before their whole town unravels…

In Fort Connor, Colorado, the friends at the House of Lambspun knitting shop are welcoming a new face into the fold. Shy, sweet, and pregnant, Nancy Marsted would like to knit a baby hat, and the Lambspun ladies are more than happy to show her the ropes. They share their own pregnancy yarns and soon learn that the father of Nancy’s baby isn’t quite the man she dreamed he was. He’s a cad.

Then one dark night a speeding car fatally mows down the dad-to-be and also strikes a cyclist, spinning the town into a frenzy. Everyone worries that a crazed killer is on the loose. Now it’s up to Kelly and the gang to put down their needles and cut to the chase before the culprit is driven to kill again…

Your bread may vary in appearance.

From Maggie - This bread is quick to make and crandberries can be found year-round. I kept tinkering with the recipe until I came up with the flavors that I especially like. Give it a try and enjoy!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

1½ cups white sugar

1 cup orange juice

¼ cup melted butter

2 eggs

1 cup fresh cranberries (not frozen)

1 cup chopped walnuts

½ cup grated orange peel 

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

   Grease one regular-sized bread loaf pan (or two small loaf pans). 

   Dust pan lightly with flour, dumping excess.

   Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in large mixing bowl.
   Combine sugar, orange juice, melted butter, ans eggs in another bowl, mixing well. 

   Stir into flour mixture along with cranberries, walnuts, and orange peel.

   Mix well, blending all ingredients.

   Pour into prepared loaf pan.

   Bake for 50 minutes or until knife inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.

   Remove pan to wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then run knife around edges of pan and turn out onto rack to cool completely. 

Just think about that with some sweet and/or whipped butter. 😊

"That's a good boy," Kelly Flynn said to her Rottweiler, Carl, who bent his black head to the side, eyes closed, as she rubbed the sweet spot behind his ear.
