Shelagh Small world Katherine and Shelagh.....I have a friend and her husband was a wing comander at Greenwood. Year ago Otto and I took the train from Toronto to NB and the ferry across to Greenwood.

Anna Maria, "Knitting for Dummies" has the same kind of black and white cover as the other "Dummies" books - "Internet for Dummies", etc. It contains all the basics plus explanations of more complicated stitched and techniques. I think, from looking it over while we were travelling, that it will become an invaluable reference book. Thanks Katherine! Now I know of a good reference book. The trip home was mostly uneventful, except for the fact that I found some more yarn. Sigh! It was Boa by Bernat, and it was cheaper in Greenwood than anywhere else in Atlantic Canada. Also, someone posted pictures of a rug she had knitted with a Crafter's Cotton, and told us that the yarn was all but impossible to find. Well, she was right! However, at Zeller's in Mirimachi, I found their last six balls, which they were selling off for $1.50 a ball, and bought it all. Now all I have to do is find the pattern in my in-box! LOL Katherine A dear friend of mine managed to find something like that for me at a sale in Italy. 1 kg for 10 euros! Now I have only to go and take it! You find the link to the pattern in my answer to your other message. Hugs, Anna Maria |

Glad to have brought back memories for you, Shelagh. Isn't Greenwood itself a horrible place? I find it hot, and very unattractive. My sister lived there for a few years, and I hated visiting her. It was like any other military base, but hotter. Fortunately, there were nice places nearby. I can't remember an "anchor" store in the mall - but it was likely the supermarket. LOL I got my yarn at Atlantic Fabrics, which surprised me, because they usually don't carry much. Now they have sock yarns, and some of the novelty yarns. I also got some fabulous buys at Reitmans - 70% off the lowest sale price. I am outfitted for school now! g Katherine |
