Welcome to Knitting Traditions
STOLEN
I am putting out the word that on October 27th, 2008, my
suitcase was stolen in Montreal out of the trunk of a friend's
car. I am hoping that if anyone sees any of these pieces,
you will contact the Montreal police at (514) 280-0120.
I would love to have them back and there is a reward being
offered for their return.
The suitcase contained six ganseys: Grace's Cardigan, the
White Gansey, Chelsea's Heart Gansey, Snakes and Ladders,
Poppleton, and At Sea, as well as my Fair Isle Bag. You can
view these on this
page.
All 24 of the little class samplers which I use to teach
my classes were also in the bag and are shown
here.
(Some of the photos are older version of the actual samplers
stolen, but look very similar.) In addition, two pairs of
Latvian mittens which were gifts from friends, five single
Latvian mittens which I had knitted for classes, and two
out-of-print Latvian mitten books were in the case as well
as other minor swatches used in my teaching.
I appreciate any and all help in the retrieval of this huge
body of work.
Many thanks!
