    Everyone at Bless Your Art in Sweet River, Texas, is excited about the Yarn Goddess (yes, that's her real name) coming to town. Ainsley McGregor has set up a special event at the local community center, but when old Mrs. Whedon doesn't see eye-to-eye with the Goddess about using quality yarn, a fight breaks out. Who knew the octogenarian had ninja moves like that? 
     
     
     
    It's all fun and games until George Clooney, Ainsley's Great Dane, finds Ms. Yarn's dead body in a booth at Bless Your Art. Now the prime suspect is Mrs. Whedon, and while she's not the easiest woman to get along with, there's no way she's the killer. At least, Ainsley doesn't think so. As this yarn unravels, Ainsley and her quirky friends learn some interesting things about the case and the Goddess's checkered past. But there's a killer on the loose, and George may be the only thing protecting Ainsley from certain death.
