Double Knit - Paperback

Sachitano, Arlene: - "After working nearly 30 years in the high-tech industry, where Arlene's writing consisted of performance reviews, process specs and a scintillating proprietary tome on electronics assembly, she wrote her first mystery novel, Chip and Die. Quilt As Desired, the first Harriet Truman/Loose Threads Mystery was published in the fall of 2007 and has been followed by eleven more adventures - Quilter's Knot, Quilt As You Go, Quilt By Association, The Quilt Before The Storm, Make Quilts Not War, A Quilt In Time, Crazy as a Quilt, Disappearing Nine Patch, Double Wedding Death, Quilts Make a Family and The 12 Quilts of Christmas. Double Knit is her first knitting mystery novel. Arlene knits a lot, having two knitting groups in Tillamook, Oregon, one in Portland, a 4-H knitting group and also does fiber arts with the kids from the Tillamook Options alternative high school kids. Many people mentioned that with all that knitting, I should write a mystery novel for the knitters in my life. This one is for them. Arlene is aided in her writing endeavors by her canine companion Navarre. When not writing, she is on the board of directors of the Harriet Vane Chapter of Sisters in Crime as well as Latimer Quilt and Textile Center in Tillamook, Oregon. She teaches knitting at Latimer and is also a quilter. She's been married to Jack for forty-one years. They split their time between Tillamook and Multnomah Village in Portland. Arlene and Jack have three lovely children and four brilliant grandchildren. She also has two wonderful friends named Susan and one named Margi (who would have been a Susan if her sister Susan hadn't been born first)."
