Locket’s Book & Craft Club 2024 - Book #6 The Christmas Invitation

Locket's Book & Craft Club is continuing in 2024 so we can share our joint passions for reading and making.

Every two months or so there will be a new book recommendation and the opportunity to pre-order the special craft box that I have put together to go with the book and come to a special Knit Group/Book Club meeting either in person at Lucy Locket Land or virtually via Zoom.

Please note, you will need to have signed up for the Craft Box to come to the Book Group meetings

The Craft Boxes will vary and you will be given an indication of what type of project it will contain.  You can also choose to sign up for each one or just whichever takes your fancy - there's no tie-in.

My 6th and final book recommendation for 2024 is The Christmas Invitation by Trisha Ashley

This unashamedly squishy Christmas chick-lit - and it’s lovely!

An artist, an eccentric household of lovely folk, Winter Solstice, Christmas, mystery, family, crossed wires, and potential new romance all rolled together into one delicious bundle

You can read it in any format you prefer - paperback, kindle, audio, library lend - whatever suits you and your lifestyle best.

The kit this time features 12 x 10g mini skeins   
and, in honour of the festive season, a selection of Christmas decoration designs in either knitting or crochet so you can choose your favourite! 

The exact contents of the craft box are secret but will include 

• 12 x 10g mini skeins of Locket Land hand dyed super-wash 75% Merino 25% nylon 4ply 
• a printed pattern booklet featuring knitting and crochet designs for you to choose from
• Secret "extras” 
• in a tissue-lined box
• plus entry to the in-person or virtual Book Group Meeting in August (dates to be confirmed)

The book itself is not included so you can choose your preferred format

See below for the Amazon synopsis

Meg is definitely not in the Christmas mood. She’s never gone in for tinsel, baubles and mistletoe, and right now she’s still getting over an illness. Yet when she’s invited to spend the run-up to Christmas in the snowy countryside, rather than dreary London, she can’t refuse.

Arriving at a warm and cosy family home in a small hilltop village, Meg soon begins to wonder what a proper Christmas might be like. But just as she’s beginning to settle in, she spots a familiar face. Lex.

Despite the festive cheer, Meg suddenly wants nothing more than to get as far away from him, and their past secrets, as she can. But if she stays, could this be the year she finally discovers the magic of Christmas...?
