Just couldn’t resist a comment re: Sally’s Bohus: Wow! It looks great! I love the hemline and picot neckline. I will definitely consider something similar in my Large Collar. I agree that the tightly ribbed waistline is very dated and terribly unflattering for those of us who said goodbye to our waists long, long, LONG ago :(. The ribbed look works if you have a figure like Audrey Hepburn.Â
And welcome to the knitting Clay fans out there.  I have been Sally’s companion at MANY Clay concerts. I am the tall one in front standing next to the short one holding up the cell phone. Clay has actually spoken on that cell phone to some lucky listener out there.  Please check out our July 26 post to see Sally with you-know-who.
Oregon progresses with unnatural speed: slower than seems humanly possible — microscopic speed. I’ll post an update in a few more inches. Met a snag with the Moebius — it may become a UFO…

PS — I am wearing long underwear today — 2 degrees and windy. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr :(.

Hi,
I am thrilled to see someone knitting a Bohus sweater and also to get the information on the Swedish Kits. I have
the Poems of Color book, but have been hesitant to try to assemble yarns. My mom bought a Bohus sweater in 1955 in
Sweden; my picture of her for most of my childhood is wearing that sweater which was along the lines of the Green
Meadow but with more of a gold/tan/olive/red feel to the front pattern. My memory of that sweater is that the
yarn had quite a bit of variation in it for being a fine yarn. She had the sweater up until about a year ago when
she moved out of the house she’d lived in for 47 years, we are both hoping it will still show up in her new house.
I’m really tempted to order one of the kits! I wish I’d known about them when I was in Sweden last May, I made my
extended family that I was visiting take me to a yarn store to get Lovikka yarn and also a Hanne Falkenberg kit.
All of the other projects you’ve made are great,too! I’m looking forward to watching the Bohus projects!
Regards,
Nancy

Nancy — if your mother finds her original Bohus, please let us know; I’d love to see a photograph of it!
