Briggs & Little are reasonably close to where I live, just the next province over, so I can feel good about sourcing my yarn locally (well reasonably locally) and supporting a local business, the colours are just perfect for the type of knitting I like to do - Being a Brit in Maritime Canada, its a lot of Aran work for me.
Of course, the way the snow and ice is melting up here, by the time I have translated the arms pattern into a spreadsheet and knitted them up, the jumper will sit unworn until next winter.
Very happy to send out copies of the spreadsheet to anyone who wants one btw.
