Cabbagetown or Ville des choux
Sent in by Kris Murdock. Sue Cunningham will be pleased to see a second version of this this delightful pattern hooked.
Cabbagetown is a neighbourhood located on the east side of downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It comprises "the largest continuous area of preserved Victorian housing in all of North America", according to the Cabbagetown Preservation Association.
Cabbagetown's name derives from the Irish immigrants who moved to the neighbourhood beginning in the late 1840s, said to have been so poor that they grew cabbage in their front yards.
Sue cleverly featured the top parts (attics) of the decorative Victorian buildings, a more interesting and artistic approach.

Giddy Up!
Hi Christine
I'm happy to say "Giddy Up" is all finished, except for the binding tape, which will go on soon. This mat was so fun to hook, as there were no expectations. I guess I should explain that. I was the lucky winner of this pattern and all because I guessed the right number in a contest. As I hooked this pattern, I didn't have to think what color would be suitable for the future owner, all I had to do was hook what I liked with what colors of yarn I had in my stash. We never had a rocking horse at our house, but there were teddy bears and balls. The ball in this pattern reminds me of those rubber balls we would get to bounce outside come spring. So thank you Christine for the pattern. It took me down memory lane and was so enjoyable and playful to hook.
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for 2014

Really enjoy your Blog! Read you every day. My friend and I stopped by your wonderful shop a few months ago and you took quick photo of my "rug in process". Now working on a set of stair runners for my daughter. Keep up your writing. Your site is one of my favorites. Best regards, Dick Barr, New Hampshire

Picked this pattern up at your shop two summers ago and finally got to hooking. Thought you would like to see it finished. I love the Hudson Bay blanket that made its way on to my clothesline. Always enjoy a visit to your shop,
