In this Episode I have an Extra Special treat.

I have received a Mug from Kelly of Knit Swag on Etsy

She has kindly given me the Coupon Code SOXYNANA for the month of February for you to use to get
15% off you purchase.
Links to her Etsy and Online Store are:

The design on the mug she sent was a complete surprise!!! The mug design she has chosen is influenced
by the designs of the sweater knit by Cowichan people from British Columbia, Canada.

The Cowichan Sweaters are one of a kind and very rich in history.

I have provided some links to videos so you can take a look at their incredible life and designs
Cowichan Sweater Claimed as a Canadian Symbol – Canadian Govt recognition back in 2012
