Remember the children who did not return home, and those who did return changed and wounded. Listen when the truth is spoken to you.

The symbols are surrounded by stars, a crescent moon, rising smoke, dotted patterns and flowing lines representing themes of remembrance and the ongoing journey of reconciliation.

Disruptive times call for examination of assumptions, commitments, plans. Something I am sticking with is not selling our books on Amazon. I won't lie, the day may come when we won't be able to avoid that slice of the market. But for now, we hold firm.

Items stolen from Salish Blanket Co on Granville Island, keep an eye out for these weavings. Details: www.instagram.com/p/Dbq72iKErq...
Screenshot from an Instagram account with a photo of a woven blanket and caption:

aleensparrow STOLEN ITEMS - PLEASE SHARE AND HELP US BRING THESE HOME
Last night, Salish Blanket Co. was broken into. While damaged property can be repaired, something priceless was taken from our store that can never be replaced.
Stolen from the shop was a hand woven blanket created by my son, Isaiah, as his Grade 12 capstone project. He gifted it to me and it is one of my most cherished and invaluable possessions.
The second blanket is a weaving by @atheanapicha gifted to my mother…

There's a new knitting magazine, Purl! Each issue is a deep dive into a particular element of knitting - the 1st issue, entirely reasonably, is about casting on. I wrote an article about stretchy cast-ons & their stretchinesses. Print & digital available here: plytogether.com/products/pur... 🧶

We're nearly halfway to our goal 🎉 and we've added more super popular yarn-sample reward bundles to the campaign! Each also comes with an author-signed copy of the book and the PDF ebook. www.kickstarter.com/projects/nin...
New yarn sample rewards added to the Kickstarter campaign for the book, Wild Dyes of the Pacific Northwest! The image shows some sample yarns, the cover of the book, and a badge that says, "signed by the author." Snag some rewards and help bring this book into the world!Why is each yarn sample ~39–40 metres? Because author Zoe McDonell is compiling three catalogs from short lengths of yarn dyed for the book, one each to be donated to the Museum of Anthropology, the Museum of Vancouver, & the Beaty Biodiversity Museum to support research into historical dye use in the PNW. She is offering the remaining yarn to support production of "Wild Dyes of the Pacific Northwest." Head to Kickstarter to join the community of natural-dye lovers, support the book, and snag some of this super special yarn!

Effective Feb 1st, we have suspended
all importing from the USA.

Products affected include:

We can't make purchasing decisions when, due to
the breaking of our trade agreements, we don't
know what the products will cost when they arrive.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this will cause.

À compter du 1er février, nous avons suspendu
toutes les importations en provenance des États-Unis.

Les produits concernés sont :
