Stolen Goods

I am putting out the word that on October 27th, 2008, my suitcase was stolen in Montreal out of the trunk of a friend’s car. I am hoping that if anyone sees any of these pieces, you will contact the Montreal police at (514) 280-0120. I would love to have them back and there is a reward being offered for their return.  I was even interviewed on the CBC about this very sad loss.

The suitcase contained six ganseys: Grace’s Cardigan, the White Gansey, Chelsea’s Heart Gansey, Snakes and Ladders, Poppleton, and At Sea, as well as my Fair Isle Bag. You can view these on this page of my website.

All 24 of the little class samplers which I use to teach my classes were also in the bag and are shown here. (Some of the photos are older version of the actual samplers stolen, but look very similar.) In addition, two pairs of Latvian mittens which were gifts from friends, five single Latvian mittens which I had knitted for classes, and two out-of-print Latvian mitten books were in the case as well as other minor swatches used in my teaching.  I appreciate any and all help in the retrieval of this huge body of work. Many thanks!
