Back for a bit of a visit - thanks Aud for suggestion

David R. Sky · 2006-05-27T03:12:01+00:00

Just dropping in for a quick 'hi there you all', and to Aud on the Island (I'm pretty sure it was you who suggested it) - today for the first time I went to Birkeland Brothers on Main St. here in Vancouver where I picked up a large skein of deliciously soft coral merino & acrilyc wool, an afghan hook and a pouch to hold my growing selection of crochet hooks. As the saleswoman observed, "why are there cats on it, playing with knitting needles??" lol!I haven't received your threads from november yet Mirjam, and I guess you haven't received mine 'cuz I haven't heard from you. I understood from Jan that your exchange from some time last year or before that took several months too.Cher, I'll be sending you a private email off-list to confirm something.Hope you're all doing well, I'll probably be around for the next few days then jump off again.cheers!David

Well since David lives in Vancouver, I would think that He will be going back to Birkeland long before I get there. David will you ask them please, if they are of Norwegian stock.... I would not be surpriced at all, since Vancouver Holds a united nations type of population...Aud LOL

As I think Jan wrote in another post, they are indeed Norwegian. And yes I love the United nations of Vancouver - talking with people from other parts of the world here is like travelling vicariously around the world through other people's experiences. and there are so many different ethnic cuisine restaurants! :)~
