The Sojourn Stitch — C. Jane Reid

That woman will bring shame down upon us . . . The New World is no place for a penniless widow, even one as skilled at lace-making as Elsie MacClayne. Her choices are few: remain with the other Scots-Irish immigrants to become a burden on her friends or search out her cousin, Connor, who has already made Pennsylvania Colony his home. Elsie longs to make a life for herself and her unborn child, but old prejudices are still alive amongst the colonists, and she is looked upon with either pity or distrust. Can she find the courage to withstand the threats around her and claim her place in a foreign land? The Sojourn Stitch is the second book of the Unraveling series, which features fiber crafts, historical detail, and a crochet pattern by designer Laurinda Reddig.
