What is a cozy mystery?
(Or Cosy for non US English) Often referred to as "cozies", they are a subgenre of crime fiction in which sex and violence are downplayed or treated humorously, and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community. The story is suspenseful, but not too scary; mysterious, but not exactly murder-filled. Perfect to read on vacation without freaking yourself out — even if you’re staying at a cabin in the woods.

The Nettie's Knit Shop Mystery series
Please note: There is no reference to and will be no mention of the recent/current pandemic of Coronavirus in any of the Nettie's Knit shop books. Life is tough enough, and sometimes we just want to tune out the news, social media and day to day real world noise and recharge. Reading cozy mysteries should be an escape, to read for entertainment and relaxation.

Do you love to knit, crochet or work with wool?
We went to Capital Fibre Fest at Expressions Arts and Entertainment Centre in Upper Hutt this 24 Oct 2020 and met some wonderful people with the most amazing wool - the colours, the texture ... it was heaven. Have to share so we can go back online and purchase more when we can.
Palliser Ridge - South Wairarapa, wool, tours, overnight stay, classes and more (Nettie will be visiting)
Purple Sprouting - Hand-dyed yarn, NZ with love and a passion for colour (Waikato)
Darn-Knit NZ - specialising in gradient, self-stripping and semi-solid yarns (they have one that is just like licorice allsorts and Nettie wants to try it out.)
Not a knitter but want a bespoke hand knitted item?
Knitwit - Knitted and crocheted items made in Mangakino, New Zealand
