Crafts for the Knittn’ Kitten

In Portland, Oregon, where we all live, there’s a tiny shop called The Knittn’ Kitten. It’s a craft-supply thrift
store, filled with vintage fabrics, sewing notions, yarns, beads, buttons, patterns, and lots of other treasures.
It’s owned by a mother and daughter team, who visit estate sales, take donations from local crafters, and
occasionally travel overseas to find wonderful crafty things.
“The Kitten” (as it’s affectionately called around here) has become a vital part of the Portland craft scene.
Crafters from all over town visit the shop to find treasures for their handmade projects. And quite a few
local artisans rely on the shop’s low prices to keep their small businesses profitable.
But, as much as we all love The Knittn’ Kitten, economic forces have us shopping less in general lately.
And so, in early Fall 2009, we learned that our beloved Kitten was in some danger of closing for good.
A group of us got together to see what we might do to help. Christine Blystone came up with a great idea:
what if we each donated a project sheet to the store? Then people could stop in, pick up the free project,
and get all the materials they’d need to make it.
We took turns, offering up a new project each week and spreading the word on our blogs. It helped – it got
people into the shop, and got them buying some things.
…And since our blogs are read by people who live far from Portland, and can’t get to The Knittn’ Kitten, we
thought we’d also share our project sheets in this ebook – it’s our gift to you.

Sparks - Laura Bickle

WITHOUT A TRACE Anya Kalinczyk is the rarest type of psychic medium, a Lantern, who holds down a day job as an arson investigator with the Detroit Fire Department—while working 24/7 to exterminate malicious spirits haunting a city plagued by unemployment and despair. Along with her inseparable salamander familiar, Sparky, Anya has seen, and even survived, all manner of fiery hell—but her newest case sparks suspicions of a bizarre phenomenon that no one but her eccentric team of ghost hunters might believe: spontaneous human combustion. After fire consumes the home of elderly Jasper Bernard, Anya is stunned to discover his remains—or, more precisely, a lack of them; even the fiercest fires leave some trace of their victims—and she is sure this was no naturally occurring blaze. Soon she’s unearthed a connection to a celebrity psychic who preys on Detroit’s poor, promising miracles for money. But Hope Solomon wants more—she’s collecting spirits, and in a frantic race against time, Anya will face down an evil adversary who threatens her fragile relationship with her lover, her beloved Sparky’s freshly hatched newts, and the wandering souls of the entire city About the Author Laura Bickle has worked in the unholy trinity of politics, criminology, and technology for several years. She and her chief muse live in the midwest, owned by four mostly-reformed feral cats. Her short fiction has appeared here and there. Sparks is her second novel.
