    Stories like this make me SO PROUD I can knit, and crochet. It's hard to explain, the feeling you get from a finished project and the look on a face that's been gifted with something lovely that you made with your own hands.

    I would love to make my own Cowichan sweater, but for some reason I feel like if I did make one it would devalue the _real_ Cowichan sweaters.
