I can see a couple of handknit shawls in the future for some of my giftees. (Including my SIL who lives in Vancouver.) Supporting the artist instead of Walmart appeals to me.</p> <p>All the best in 2007!</p> What a great idea for Christmas. I want to head in that direction, but my kids aren’t too happy with the idea.

I am trying to find someone in Vancouver who could knit something for me…it was in a store for $450, and I can’t afford that!

I don’t know that anything custom made would be any less expensive but your work is so incredibly delicate, I thought you would be perfect.

If you think you’d be interested in finding out more, please get in touch! Thank you…
