Another Trestle Press Digital Short Story Series: Amish Knitting Circle is a continuing short story series about 6 women. Granny Weaver started the circle when she saw her wool was stronger when spun into yarn. So she starts a knitting circle, believing the women will be stronger as they face life together. Volume 5 ~ Christmas Cookies It’s Christmas in Smicksburg, PA, and Granny Weaver is excited about the knitting circle’s Christmas cookie exchange. She’s comes to see these women as her daughters, and along with that, the fretting heart of a mom. Luke’s accepts church discipline and is making an effort to reconcile with Ruth, but her heart’s as cold as the north wind toward him. Maryann is in Lancaster “visiting relatives”, but Granny suspects it’s for other, more serious reasons. But Granny rejoices that Ella and Zach become parents, Maryann appears healthy….and Fannie finds love. About Karen Anna Vogel: A trusted English friend among Amish in Western PA and Western NY, my four grown children call me an ‘Amish Addict.’ My husband of thirty years shares my addiction. Our Old Order Amish friends have taken us back to a time when life was slower. Slow enough to enjoy our faith, family and friends. Slow enough to make me relax and join a knitting circle and learn to spin wool. Wanting to share what I’ve learned from these gentle people led me to write Amish fiction.
