The third book of this illustrated mystery, "The Séance," sends Emma, Amity, Nadya, and Rolie into the curious world of 19th century spiritualism.

Join the story and knit the elegant Ether Overskirt--a lace side-buttoned skirt that will dress-up any outfit; to keep the chill of the spirits at bay, work the Séance Shawl--a prettily patterned lace triangle shawl; leave your fingers free for automatic writing with the Medium's MItts--a set of soft, fingerless gloves.

“The Séance” includes over twenty full-color watercolors and will be available for purchase during the reading and online at http://www.missflitt.com/.

“The Séance” will launch at Stitch Therapy Brooklyn on October 23rd.
