An immortal black cat

A pair of magic knitting needles

An old woman who is more than she appears to be

And a carpet bag that thinks it is a dog

Who thinks knitting is magic?

Maisie Evans certainly didn’t but she was in for the surprise of her life. She didn’t know she had a spark within her, a special connection to the weave of creation, the ethereal energy which binds everything together.

But Granny Stitch, her new next door neighbour, knew.

The old woman had been searching for nearly half a century for someone with that special spark to become a the Keeper and protector of an ancient and magical pair of knitting needles capable of knitting anything their user could imagine.

Despairing of ever finding a Keeper for the needles, Granny Stitch had already tried to train another girl, but, realising the girl's ambition was dangerous the old woman rejected her. With vengeance in mind, Amber Trumpington-Smythe vowed to stop at nothing to obtain the needles and unleash demonic forces that could destroy everything Granny Stitch held dear.

Before it is too late, can Maisie overcome her own selfishness and fear, and learn to control the needles in order to stop Amber using them for evil?
