Stitched Up Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Serratia_rubidaea: The cache has gone for the (fourth?) time, and there is litter in the hiding place. I looked for an alternative spot but there aren't any good ones nearby. I am sorry to archive this one, but hope to make another knitting-themed puzzle at some point.
