I like it, by the way.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-28370921560089172672010-02-21T02:26:28.706+00:002010-02-21T02:26:28.706+00:00i love the designs made by the woman of the little...i love the designs made by the woman of the little jacket with the houses.

And glad Janet made the Scotland Street comment - I think of you when I read the books, and vice versa. Really don't care for his other series, but I love those ones - I'm really caught up in the characters.<br />- Beth in TorontoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-36311741430722170062010-02-20T15:58:35.775+00:002010-02-20T15:58:35.775+00:00Jean, have you seen the little green jacket that w...Jean, have you seen the little green jacket that was reconstructed from an EZ sweater in an issue of the Twist Collective? (Maybe the fall issue I think?) That seems like it might be a fun challenge to knit, especially if you have any young women in your family-- and the style of the sweater is pretty classic. I have been eyeing it for a while. I thought that sweaters and south Texas don't mix (especially after spending a year in Oberlin, where sweaters were so welcome) but as it turns out, they don't heat the building here in the winter and it gets really cold in my office. (One of my colleagues, a theorist of religion, has a stack of heavy aran sweaters she brought from her native Canada that live in the office and she wears them in the cold months.) Anyway the Green sweater (I think it is called- it is on the Schoolhouse Press page under patterns) looks like it might be a fun knit.Angelhttp://knittingangel.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-88479813085796096452010-02-20T14:54:30.807+00:002010-02-20T14:54:30.807+00:00Sister again. A comment for Janet.
I like the Eye...Sister again. A comment for Janet.<br />I like the Eye of the Leopard a lot; it's very real--but it's also 20 years old, maybe more; that's not a book he'd write today. Mankell is the Artistic Director of the Theatro Avenida in Maputo; we met him when we lived there and heard him speak several times. I wish he would write more about his more recent views of Mozambique.<br />He turns out to have a very good web site: henningmankell.com. Have a look in particular at the video called "Plan" which was filmed in Uganda. There is lots of Mankell himself in it and he is wonderful.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969718871594953655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-56276571230353061202010-02-20T14:49:12.323+00:002010-02-20T14:49:12.323+00:00the picture is wonderful! what a charming lady.the picture is wonderful! what a charming lady.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15632777234664583020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-4426673931939605942010-02-20T12:37:56.740+00:002010-02-20T12:37:56.740+00:00I ordered the back issue of Piecework with the lac...I ordered the back issue of Piecework with the lace alphabet a few years ago at your suggestion. Now, of course, I have a subscription. It doesn't help in effort to rid the house of extra paper, but it is certainly interesting to anyone who likes history. Thanks for the nudge in that direction.rosesmamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-60289419021590081932010-02-20T08:37:46.995+00:002010-02-20T08:37:46.995+00:00Jean, I have a spare copy of the alphabet samplers...Jean, I have a spare copy of the alphabet samplers leaflet if you would like it!
