Seniorly Canadian
2007 is not only the year of the pig but it is also an important year for crafts.
The Crafts Association of BC and the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre is planning this: http://www.cabc.net/news/craftyear2007/craftyear2007.htm
Relatively speaking Canada is a young country.
However, we do have a growing elderly population. A population of who we should be proud. They have brought us here.
The Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library (http://www.mts.net/~mcml/) celebrates it's 75th year in 2007. Quoting their web site, their mandate is "the study, preservation and understanding of handicrafts" and yes this does include knitting.
And much to the pleasure and delight of knitters Briggs and Little (http://briggsandlittle.com/wool/default.htm) of York Mills, New Brunswick has been producing 100% Canadian wool for 150 years...150 years...since 1857.
Yes, we have a proud history. Let's celebrate it.
Tomorrow: Happy Valentine's day!
