Mix Jane Eyre with a hint of Ghostbusters and you have a recipe for a delightful YA tale with Charlotte Brontë in a starring role. My Plain Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, & Jodi Meadows inspires an expanded take on the Gentle Reader design, combining smocked stitches and a slipped border. I’m thrilled to partner with The Backcountry Knitter to bring you this continuation of The Jane Quartet.
