I was at my knit night at Knit and Stitch in West Van, and Inge, the owner, proudly told me after all my pleading to stock it, the owners of Koigu paid her a surprise visit. Initially they told her they weren’t taking on new clients, but after ten minutes in Inge’s fantastic shop, they gave her a credit application. The Koigu is on its way!

Hi! I’m a fellow Vancouverite (a few bridges away in Kits) knitting blogger whose been reading your journal. I figured I should stop and introduce myself instead of lurking in your archives like a stranger.
Also, I have never made the bus/Seabus/bus journey out to Knit and Stitch, but I will when they get Koigu! Please blog about it when it gets there.
Thanks!
