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

Orchidmania

 I had a wonderful day today, what with the cool drizzly weather (a welcome change for the hottest February I've ever experienced; admittedly I am in Guatemala...) and an orchid exhibit just next to my apartment! A couple friend's (one was a member of the orchid society in Guatemala) and I met for a little coffee and a nice visit. The exhibit was small, but it had all local to Guatemala orchids! There were micro-orchids,  The orchids are growing in the center of the leaves! grassy orchids,  and of course the Monja Blanca, the national orchid to Guatemala.                 According to my friend it's a sort of albino variant of a pink orchid.  It was really nice to discuss the different things and a little about how many were discovered because of Orchidmania in the Victorian era. It's dark, but the petals are GREEN! And wel...
