Order of Black Sheep Knitting Mysteries Books

The Black Sheep Knitting Mysteries series brings together cozy mystery and crafting in a charming collection of novels written by American author Anne Canadeo (writing under the pseudonym Katherine Spencer). Set in the quaint Black Sheep Knitting Shop located in Plum Harbor, Massachusetts, the series centers around shop proprietor Maggie Messina and her close-knit circle of friends: Lucy, Dana, Suzanne, and Phoebe. These women meet regularly for their knitting sessions, but their weekly gatherings take an unexpected turn when discussions shift from yarn and patterns to solving murders.

Canadeo launched this engaging mystery series in 2009 with the debut novel While My Pretty One Knits, and continues to add new installments to the ongoing series. The following list presents Anne Canadeo's Black Sheep Knitting Mysteries novels in their original publication sequence, which follows the same order as the books' chronological timeline:
