This is a bit of a stretch to make it relevant to e-books as opposed to paper, but Piecework magazine's September/October 2010 issue is a special "Needlework in Literature" issue. I can't wait to get into it -- it has articles such as:
Deadly Yarns and Knitted Fictions, w/ accompanying project
What Would Miss Marple Knit?
Needlework in Children's Literature, w/ accompanying project
Three Bookmarks to Make
The Interweave website has a complete description of the issue:
