Luckily, Dee has all the time in the world to help out—she’s just been unceremoniously fired from her demanding job amidst scandalous office rumors she’s certain her hot-shot nemesis, Ben, is behind . . . When Dee bumps into Becky, an old friend who is a new mum to a premature baby, Dee gets the brilliant idea to use her new role at her brother’s shop to enlist the knitting community to make tiny woolly hats to keep the little one warm.
