Every time Amos saw Uncle Henry wearing his sweater he bit it. There were always Amos holes in it that Aunt Hattie had to mend.
We stocked up on books from the library before the city strike – Amos’s Sweater is a current favourite.

Complications
I’m stalled on the black lacey cardigan. I started it hoping to be able to wear it to a wedding on September 1st (I’m always cold at receptions). I guess I was feeling a little overconfident and thought I could finish it even though I’m working on a number of other projects.
Black Yarn
My eyes are going. I’ve been in denial about this for a while now. I couldn’t really understand before when my mum would said that she could only knit with dark coloured yarn during the day with good strong light over her shoulder.
On-the-road knitting
While on our road trip I had lots of time for knitting. Although prone to motion sickness, I did discover that I can easily work in stocking stitch as long as I don’t need to look down much.
Avery update
I’ve been working on a little of everything lately, but wanted to let you know how Avery is coming along. I’ve finished the front and blocked both the front and back.
Speedy delivery
On Tuesday evening I decided I wanted to knit a black lacy cardigan. There’s a pattern I like in the recent Spring/Summer 2007 Vogue Knitting and Elann had a rayon/cotton/linen blend called Callista on special.
On the move
Our two weeks in Edmonton have drawn to a close and we returned home this morning. The time went all too quickly. We didn’t get a chance to do all the activities we had planned and although I had a chance to get a lot of knitting and some designing done, it wasn’t anywhere near as much as I brought with me!
Wool Revival
Wool Revival is one of my favourite LYSs in Edmonton. Owner, Bonnie really encouraged me to publish my designs and she was the first shop owner to place an order of my first pattern, Candace almost 4 years ago.
Little boy blue
Hana’s outgrown Avery sweater sample received a lot of attention at the Victoria Knit-Out last month and it’s in a discontinued yarn. It’s time to knit a new one in a yarn I carry so that knitters can see just how great it looks in another colourway too!
Time to share
I just love receiving email from knitters who have completed one of my sweaters – especially when they send photos! Martha has outdone herself by knitting not one, but TWO Drunken Argyle vests.
