The Series
The Adventures of Miss Flit: The Strange Case of the Magician's Cabinet, an illustrated, 19th century mystery with knitting patterns by Beth Hahn, follows Emma Flitt into a Victorian New York filled with magicians, clairvoyants, charlatans, and pick pockets to unravel the mysterious disappearance of her sister Lucy. Told over the course of four installments, the debut issue features knitting patterns that emphasize the use of experimentation and creativity. While the intermediate knitter can follow clearly written instructions and charts, he or she is also encouraged to personalize each item by choosing from different yarns, edges, sleeve types, and sweater lengths. Patterns included in the debut issue are the Lucy Shrug--a delicate, one piece lace shrug; the Emma Cardigan--a classic lace sweater that may be knit as a special occasion piece or as an everyday wardrobe item; the Amity Caplet--a soft, Victorian-inspired caplet; the Magic Act Handkerchief--a store-bought handkerchief transformed by the addition of a delicate, finely knit edge; The Annabel Lee Warmer--a soft, angora collar that fits snugly beneath a coat or perfectly over a sweater. Finally, Maxcine DeGouttes, owner of Stitch Therapy in Brooklyn, New York, contributes her Koot, a basketweave hat based on the African shepherd hat. The Adventures of Miss Flitt: The Strange Case of the Magician's Cabinet, will be sold both as a booklet and digital download on this website. The download will be available on Ravelry as well.
