The Sweaters of Murder, She Wrote Episode: 11.20

 I've decided to do a series of posts on the sweaters of Murder, She Wrote. I've watched every episode at least once over the years, and there are some fantastic sweaters in this show! Some you can find a similar pattern for, so if I can I will share it. Please note I am not very good at capturing all the sweaters just yet, so the picture quality is not going to be great.

I had the idea for this while watching season 11, episode 20 "Another killing in Cork". So we will start there.

Each post will give a spoiler-free synopsis of the episode, followed by a short review, and then sweaters!

In this episode, we see Jessica traveling to Cork to visit some old friends. She stays in their big castle-like Bed and Breakfast with a host of "queer" characters (I use the words that are used in the show itself). Turns out there's a land dispute the landlord is involved in. People end up dead, of course, since this is a murder show, after all. In true Jessica Fletcher fashion, she finds the clues and helps the local constabulary find the culprit.

I would say this one is Murder, She Wrote at it's finest. The plot is simple, the side characters fairly interesting, and the clues relatively straight forward. It wouldn't be Murder, She Wrote without a little predictability, right? The biggest issue is the accents. Irish accents on this show are notoriously terrible. Overall, I'd give it a 7/10.

 

On to sweaters. Being set in Ireland in the fall, we have quite a few good ones.

Let's start with the dashing young man who is the main actor in the romantic subplot:


He is wearing one of the many oatmeal colored sweaters this episode. Pretty much everyone wears something like this at least once, so I'm only including his because he carries it off the best.

The queen of sweaters in this episode is the Landlady of the hotel, Kate, where Jessica is staying. She also happens to be a good friend of Jessica's. Kate has a couple long pullovers, and quite a few lacy cardigans. I would love to recreate one or two of them if I ever get the time. I only could get halfway decent pictures of 3 of them, so I am sharing them here:



I did say that the quality of the pictures won't be great. I'm working on that, but for now this is what I have.



 

 

Finally, we end it all, with a couple of men's sweaters grabbed randomly. A little bit of texture and color to make things interesting

Made in Guatemala

 I've been here a couple of months now, and of course in that time I have been knitting A LOT. I've made 3 hats and two sweaters! I'm almost halfway through a scarf AND have begun work on another sweater... and I've made a few blanket squares. Here's some pictures: Irish Moss hat Map of the world sweater (from an early 90's kit!) First project with Guatemalan yarn! Single rib beanie (finally broke down and watched BoJack Horseman, and obviously made the hat because of ACE VIBES) Lovely cable beret

 Last weekend was lovely! I went to the central market and got a couple more blankets for my apartment. No insulation + no heat will mean a not so pleasant winter without them. Sure, it averages around 55 or so, but it can get down to the 40's. Not freezing, but if you can't get away from it.... I also got something to hang on my wall, because back in medieval times (and pretty much most of history before central heating) tapestries were used for insulation. I don't believe it will actually work, but I can hope. Lucy likes one of my new blankets and I seem to keep buying things with birds.  On Sunday last week, I did all my laundry and cleaned EVERYTHING. Including my dog. On Sunday afternoon I realized I was sick with a cold (thanks, preschool!), by Tuesday morning I had no more cold, but it all went to my chest by way of my throat, so I couldn't talk. What a GREAT time for parent-teacher conferences, am I right? I survived those, th...
